Another plane crashed, but in Canada this time

Delta flight from Minneapolis. Might wanna re-check that....
Which means that they actually flew slightly south to a lower latitude to fly from the United States and to land in Canada.

Fun geography fact

Bear-pit quarter backing... Looks like they were flared too early/too high and pushed the nose down a bit to not overrun the runway, but overdid it and pushed the nose down and ran out of room before slamming down on the runway.
Comments in that posting say perhaps they lost headwind and lift, but not sure the nose would do that in that condition.
 
Looks like something failed structurally on that right side, breaking the wing spar, then the left, still attached wing flipped it

It looks like the right gear collapsed on touch down. They should be able to tell what the vertical rate of decent was and how many g’s was put on the airframe during touchdown, including side loads. It looks like they hit rather firmly and flat pitch wise, maybe the right side touched down first; it’s hard to tell what their lateral drift was.

Gear are mounted to the wing, that right wing broke right off.

Definitely was loaded hard.

Maybe some right stick input added to the impact and potentially un known prior damage to the structure.

Last data point on decent rate was -480'/min. Not outta the normal, but this is also from flight tracker.

Look at the difference in ground and air speed 34 and 40 knots...

Any one know the max cross and head wind landing speeds on these? Where they outside the limit?
 
Thanks for the heads up man, I’ll be sure and avoid them.

You better avoid SkyWest too from what I hear from former employees. I have to ride on passenger airlines 2-4 times a month getting to and from my scheduled flights and my personal rules are:

1) Try to only fly on mainline flights.

2) If I have to fly on a regional airline, try to at least be on a EMB-170 and stay off the CRJ’s and 145’s. The 170’s have more modern automation that helps minimally trained and experienced pilots safely complete a flight.
 



Yeah, it’s all fun and games until the weather is marginal and the wind starts blowing; then it’s all in your hands there chickies!

It does blow in that part of the world, the highest wind I’ve ever landed in was in Hamilton, ON not far from there, it was 48 gusting to 58 and 15 degrees off straight down the short runway. My ground speed was around 85-90 knots.

That video is disturbing.

Fly jumpseat so you can start bitch slappin if needed.
 
Not also that the headline says it did catch fire.

Note on the video there are at least two firetrucks spraying the wreckage down as passengers are evacuating.

I bet all the stewardesses feel very important now and have improved self esteem.
Some of the passengers didn't seem to pay attention to the "leave your belongings"; they should've been clotheslined. It is kind of sad that many people grab their carry-ons, saw 2 w/rather large carryons, while other people have been burning behind them

Was just getting ready to say this. Unreal..people with their fucking backpacks. Those people should have been beaten to a pulp once outside the carcass of the aluminum tube. Had fuel been left and leaked...kaboom would be a reality and an upside down evac makes it even more complicated. Damn lucky people!!!!

Have you seen the jumpseats in those things? Not exactly comfortable in any way. Slide out barely cushioned 90 degree seat and your knees straddle the console. But I hear ya, it’s tempting. I try to stay off of them in general and especially if the weather is marginal.

It's funny that the lyrics for their DEI Promotion Video include the repetition of the phrase "live fast, die young". Who would put those lyrics in an airline video that's supposed to prioritize safety over anything else?
 
“Work Safe”. You can have the slogan, but it’s all in your fingertips to prove it…….

@UKDslayer , you will never see the pilots interviewed until after the final NTSB report comes out, if even then. Air Disasters sometimes interviews the pilots, but I’m guessing they got paid to do it.

We saw Sully....we saw the female SW (former AF) pilot that lost a passenger.

The people who pull out their phones?!! I’m glad to have the video, but I’ll tell you what I would not think of: pulling out my phone and videoing. I’d be looking around for death figuring I was on his doorstep. Also, I’d be wondering who I could help get out of the plane, with me.

I certainly would not be grabbing my bag and someone blocking my path doing so, is going to move…..
 
who knows?



This revelation looks legit as the screenshot of the flight data is how the computer is programmed to display the data pertinent to each flight. UNIX based or something similar if my memory is correct.

And it explains why Delta won’t release the pilots names. It appears the FO First Officer was recently trained in the CL-65 which is a CRJ9 that crashed
