Not four times the speed of the other planes landing.

Not when you’re landing.

Sounds like no reverse thrust or those big flaps for landing or those things on top of the wing that come out after landing to hold the plane down. (forgive my lack of proper terminology.)

Not four times as fast as other aircraft. If you believe that statement. That would be fast enough to rip the landing gear off. Maybe the spoilers and flaps could not be deployed, thus forcing the aircraft to fly fast to maintain lift.

It’s a good idea to read at least the first two sentences of an article before posting a response.

Not with a thrust reverser turned off.

Thrust reverser was turned off when Brazil plane landed, sped along runway and crashed
