I’m leaning towards the Braves, if only as an FU to Manfred.

Yea, well within weight limit, good weather, little wind. Kind of leads to to believe some serious sudden mechanical failure.

MD-87 upper tail assembly. Clean, good condition. Cheap. Heck, first $500 takes it. Bring a trailer.

I think Houston is a larger market than Boston.

Did it run off the runway, or did it fail to make a landing?

I notice the EMS official stated something about anytime we have a landing that has issues...... Anyone let him know they were departing?🚀

"Officials say multiple people were onboard the plane before it crashed in Waller County, Texas"

How many people were on board when it crashed?

Houston is about 2.5 million people.

Red Sox nation is most of New England except for SW CT.
All of NH, ME, VT, RI, MA and half of CT(10 million).
Not to mention all the Sox fans around the country outside of NE.

I think only the Yankees have more MLB fans.

The Rays and Oriels management love it when the Yankees and Sox come to town. Their stadiums actually fill up with fans.

It’s close, but plenty of Dodger fans around the country. We are fueled by Yankee-hatred, too. I grew up in central CT, so I know plenty of Red Sox and Yankee fans.

The National Transportation Safety Board will lead the
investigation into the crash. The FAA will assists in the
investigation.

How could that be? Isn't the standard of practice for the
FBI to run in and take the investigative ownership.

Doesn't the CIA then come in behind the scenes and help
out.

I'm so confused...

The head of the FBI team should get a swell high paying
private industry job right after the investigation is done
also.

I just can't keep up.

I am curious as to how you and datura were able to obtain the weight and balance calculations so quickly after the accident so that you could both publicly post that the aircraft was well below maximum take off weight?

*21* people on board.

On a plane designed for over 100.

Did you really need much more data than that?

Another possibility is the loss of the engine sensor while the engine thrust was actually OK. This means the abort section of the runway will likely be used up and then some, But your comment about not deploying the reverse thrustors, is also part of the issue.

I was on a similar MD plane that lost an engine pressure sensor and the pilot had to abort the take off. Later they learned that there was nothing wrong with the engine, just the sensor. We skidded and used up all the available runway for abort take off at SeaTac. Kind of a rush but all it cost us is a new sensor and some additiona time at the terminal.

Reports say that it overran the runway on takeoff, so it never got airborne (or at least very much).
