Jaimito Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 some passenger is on the phone w CNN and describes the process. lucky to walkout alive. his impression said it's not as a bad as it looks now, since the fire came on later after passengers got out.

trek Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 How did the plane's tail fall off?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeromotacanucks Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I saw some sets of pictures of this crash and it´s looks like: 1) tail-strike for sure, a "gear-strike" would do a bounced landing but not a belly landing... 2) the airplane stalled before the touchdown, at the tail-strike or way before that. the crash happened with the plane stalled... 3) the weather was ok so the excuse of tailwind isn´t an option, international airports in USA have huge runways, in san Francisco they have 4 runways with 8 avaliable directions for take-off and landing. if the Pilot didn´t feel good to land on that runway he could choose another one... 4) something tells me that the airplane loading wasn´t done correctly. for an Airline Pilot with zillions of hours on simulator trainning emergencies and everything else I can´t imagine that the Captain decided try a short-field landing as done on a small airplane (bush landing tecnique). if he did this he was very stupid... -in this case the aircraft CG probably moved aft at some point of the approach, the airplane trimmed down as much as it could but at some point the airplane stalled. on a big plane you can´t do anything, on a small airplane you can dump the cargo... 5) even with an engine failure a B777 can continue the approach and land with one engine, after 12 hours of flight the B777 wasn´t heavy at all... that´s what I think...

aeromotacanucks Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 There could be many reasons for this to happen. Possibilities for landing short could be a bird strike, wrong altimeter readings settings or malfunction, premature thrust reverser deployment, a glide slope issue, fuel line problem similar to the BA accident in London. Who knows at this point as there are dozens of other reasons that may have played a part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Ruling out mechanical failure. Interesting picture at the bottom. Hits seawall, loses tail and looks like the right engine and plane slides to the left. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-23216587 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donky Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 CNN now has video up on the website of the crash landing. Not exactly a close up but you can clearly see the nose up on landing and a huge bounce before it slid off the runway. The guy that filmed the crash is clearly upset, meanwhile his wife is excited that he is filming it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
