You mean like that gear ripping that wing off while cutting that fuel line at the same time? As I noticed at the beginning.
At dinner tonight, we were talking about those stories we would hear in recurrent. Do you remember the SWA flight that slid off the end of the runway in Burbank and ended up across the street? We heard that 3 exit doors were unusable: 1R slide deployed on top of a fire hydrant, and 2R & L were blocked when the slide pack fell out inside the aft galley and inflated, blocking both doors. The only usable exit was 1L and the overwings.

And this is a really good view. It’s freaky...

I don’t suppose the Wright Brothers had thought through the whole “landing” thing that far. Wouldn’t they be impressed?
