I was #3 waiting for departure in Charlotte NC back in 1995 or 96, when that US Air flight was pounded down from a takeoff into a thunderstorm downdraft. They made it to about 250’ AGL and in a climb attitude, just came down like a rock doing 140KTS in a slow roll to the west off of a south departure. There wasn’t much left that looked like an airplane. I think it was a 737 if my memory serves me correctly.
Nineteen years almost to the day. I’d just walked home from our church. Oh, blackdog, what a horrible thing for you to see.
