No complaints from me. After all, Lord Albert Goreon is on their board of directors, haha.
I do get it on my dish here, but watch it only for amusement purposes only.

The former Reagan NTSB guy said 1400ft per second then corrected himself to say 1400ft per minute...the chick on Fox never picked up the correction and just went with the wrong figure...

One of the news channels had a reporter on the scene who said “The plane is LITERALLY in pieces.” Now that is award-winning journalism.

No, it is called G-SAT. It covers much of Asia Pacific.
It has FOX, but NO Commie News Network or PMSNBC, haha.
40+ ch. including Philippine and other Asian channels, sports, and movie channels.
There are two other dish systems available.
Cignal, quite good, and Dreamsat which is garbage. It has only CNN for news.

The frauds in the White Hut adore Aljazeera, it’s the only source for their “news”.

I’d say all those complaints are warranted.

Twitter? Are you nuts?
The links I'm talking about are at comment #242, Flightaware and comment #556, "stalling the plane further to 85 kts".
Why didn't you just say you were too lazy to weed through it.

All good. Some of us don’t consider MSNBC or CNN to be news outfits. The FNC chick is an idiot.

And of course, prior to any investigation at all, terrorism has been ruled out.

All but one accounted for. Only two known dead.

1400 feet per minute is a VERY high sink rate that close to the runway for any airplane. I question how that information was obtained. But assuming it is correct, why did that happen? Only two possibilities short of intentional pilot nefariousness: stall or microburst. I suppose the pilot could have been exhausted and allowed the plane to get too slow and stall. Or an unexpected microburst could have cropped up and forced the plane to descend too fast and hit the seawall. In either case, that anyone survived is pretty miraculous...

According to the local news stations the plane touched down too early, with the underside of the tail section catching the seawall edge where the runway begins. Reportedly only 2 dead, hopefully that number doesn’t grow.

The rear view shows the plane snapped in two just aft of the pressure bulkhead.

Yeah. My fourth or fifth though was microburst.
