Thanks so much really appreciate it :-)
hold muh beer
Wow, certainly video evidence of what happened to the plane even though it was from a distance.
The pilots on the flight holding there as next in line for departure must have gotten a better visual of the event.
I want to be the first (by the time I type this, I will probably be about 5th) To say THANKS to SARAH BARRACUDA for finding this, and to BEN LURKIN for doing the work and posting it as it’s own thread.

I expect to see that word repeated about a jillion times. And properly so.
Amazing!!!
If the pilot had made it 50 feet later, it would have been a hard one never the less.
Wow. Nothing short of miraculous that so many survived. The fuselage held together well considering. Incredible job by passengers, crew and first responders.
Heard it and muted the audio. Was just too moronic to stand.
The other thing that is annoying is witnesses who describe an event as “surreal”. They think it makes them sound smart — it has just opposite effect.
What has become of American education?
Your welcome..but I really cant take credit for this..it was posted on twitter first, it was linked to CNN..so actually for once CNN actually posted worthy news
Yesterday I ran into someone who told me he saw (in his rear view mirror) the plane at the moment of impact — he was in Millbrae (right next to SFO) at the time.
Must have been one heck of a ride! Prayers!
didn’t have a vido to show when I went to the dight
The only ones that got an even better view were the pilots of Asiana.
I would have reacted the same way..after seeing that crash I still have no clue how anyone survived..miracles DO happen
This looks like a pilot error. I have read previously that because of the heavy automation and computer control of the aircraft these days, pilot training and experience are suffering, with many new pilots knowing only how to input data to the computers. It will be interesting to read what comes out of this.
Dam it did almost cartwheel..wing up at 90 degree and spun around. .they were incredibly lucky to end up upright.....if they flip ..with that fire..
