It started with the crash of a Japanese commercial jet with a Japanese SDF plane, and ends with the crashes of an Azerbaijani and a Korean plane.. I feel so sorry for the victims of these crashes, as well as their friends and loved ones

Looks like flaps are down in the bird strike/compressor stall vid EX500rider Dec 2024 #14

Yeah I suspect there may have been some tunnel vision over engine restart... EX500rider Dec 2024 #15

DEAR GOD!..Didn't they have time to foam the runway?..I guess probably not. chouchou Dec 2024 #3

In this case foaming the runway would have extended the slide, not helpful in this case IMO EX500rider Dec 2024 #11

Tragic. bamagal62 Dec 2024 #12

737-800 has a generally strong safety record, largely due to mature technology. EX500rider Dec 2024 #9

I'm thinking electrical problem jmowreader Dec 2024 #16

That would require no engines, no APU and bad backup batteries? EX500rider Dec 2024 #18

It's pretty much a given more people would have survived had the berm not been there Major Nikon Dec 2024 #19

While i agree... EX500rider Dec 2024 #20

The antennas almost certainly were mounted on frangible supports Major Nikon Dec 2024 #21

Yeah but they were already on approach.. EX500rider Dec 2024 #22

They were able to climb which means at least one of the engines was making power at least initially Major Nikon Dec 2024 #23

I understand them wanting to keep the hull clean to extend glide... EX500rider Dec 2024 #25

From the time of the mayday call to crash was only 2-3 mins Major Nikon Jan 2025 #27
