I wasn't complaining about the thread content...
Freepers will always drop a LOT of good info on the first thread of an event.
Just that it started with a Tweet.
Which is also OK.
But many of those on social media won;t bother with long threads.
Watching my kids and Grand-kids and the way they operate.
Sometimes they might read beyond the title.
But getting to post #242...no way.,

...the investigation has been turned over to the FBI and terrorism has been ruled out.What a relief.

Yes, just like in November 2001.
Al Jazeera here to calm Americans, with their biggest fans in possession of the White Hut.

I wonder where the 2 dead were sitting. Since the tail is missing.

After 30 years of Air Traffic Control experience, most as Tower Watch Supervisor in the USAF, this was a
Pilot Error Crash.
The pilot came in too steep, with too much airspeed to bleed off, so he put it into a stall position to get rid of the airspeed.
But he stalled it out and got lucky that he belly landed it into the underrun, and the closed portion of the runway, before the landing threshold and leaving a portion of the tail in the bay.

With the length of that plane ..his tail landed before his landing gear touched the runway,...loks like to me.
To: Robe
That would make for a Bad Hair Day!

Amazing that only 2 people died.
Our local news stations were on top of this very quickly.
The first responders did a great job. Apparently, some passengers couldn’t get out of their seat belts after the crash. The first responders had to toss their rescue knives up to the crew members to cut the passengers free.
From the first reports, it appears that the crew members after the crash did a great job of getting the ramps down and passengers off and out of the plane.

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...But then that comes to like 60mph, which is still not a feasible groundspeed. Must be 1,400fpm of descent.
