Manfred Mann?
i thought it said he saw his life flashing before his eyes
A UFO was testing it’s zombie gun...
Was the pilot relying on the auto throttle to maintain the correct speed? Maybe this malfunctioned and they didn’t notice it until too late?
The laser can be mounted on a beam similar to a rifle stock with sights. But I’m skeptical of the whole “light” thing anyway.
Yup, that’s what happens when you open your eyes after sleeping.
wrapped up like a douche?
Did you see the analysis of radar data I posted?

The problem started about 10 NM out. They never stabilized the aircraft on approach after that.
Did he happen to notice Elvis and Grandpa in that light?
No way would I have stayed inside that plane. I would be making my way to the nearest exit.
The pilot didn’t kill everyone with the crash, so he tried to keep them onboard to be incinerated. Get rid of all the witnesses.
His claim is BS. He’s making excuses for not executing a go-around from an unstable approach.
His approach was unstable before he claims he was blinded.
Besides, if he thought he couldn’t see he should have immediately transferred control to the instructor pilot.

Yep. Another runner in the night.
Those pilots hit the auto-pilot soon as the go gear up and never touch the controls until just before final approach and log 18 hours. That’s how I bet that captain got his 8,000+ hours. At most 43 hours hands on.
It was an airplane that crashed to the ground not a calliope.
NSA actually revealed alien spacecraft have been experimenting on what NSA is calling, “Deer in the headlights” zombie ray...
NSA suspects they have tested their zombie ray on Sacramento and Washington D.C., for several years now.
Could have been the sun ricocheting off all the bling over in Oakland.
“Laser beam? Unlikely.”
You sound like your far more knowledgeable about this sort of thing than I am so I’ll take your word for it.
Assuming the pilot is telling the truth, maybe some cockpit electronics malfunctioned, causing a flash of light temporarily blindeing him. I don’t know.
I would sumit to all that at 34 sec before impact he was already f***ed
“Just his career imploding.”
What a pantload! “The Light” surely didn’t blind both crew members, and it still doesn’t obviate the fact that they were low and slow! Say good bye to Asiana, when the PI lawyers start filing their lawsuits. One thing is certain, I’d never fly on an Asian airline in the future.
