“I REALLY WANT TO KNOW HOW THEY FLIP IT BACK OVER.....”
Doesn’t matter it is going to metal recycling after being stripped.
Good one.
Denzel can fly anything in any orientation.
Winds @20, gusting to 37 at the airport. If there was a crosswind component it would be very challenging.

I am adding all these plane disasters to the list that includes forest fires, food processing fires, petroleum plant fires or explosions, ship-maintenance-dock fire, and medical disasters, all of which have been too frequent during the past 5-10 years to be able to be classified as accidental...
The U.S. has no enemy strong enough to beat us in an open war, but many of our enemies (chicoms, migrants, moslems, environmentalists) develop and implement subversive activities that can affect the Nation’s economy or peace-of-mind adversely...
I have been in a DC-9 when there was a hurricane blowing in. The pilot was VERY busy keeping the plane level. He did an excellent job landing. Pilots are supposed to be very good at their jobs, but the least experienced pilots get pushed down to the regional jets. Makes m wonder if DEI had anything to do with the hiring of the pilot and co-pilot.
Its just the new way the DEI folks land planes now.
Ok, sorry.
A little OT, Bobcat meets Julie Brown as “Medusa.” She impersonates Madonna by doing a parody of “”Madonna: Truth Or Dare.”

CCTV Footage from Toronto Pearson International Airport showing crash-landing of a Delta Air Lines CRJ-900LR

The fact the fuselage is inverted is not surprising since the wings were sheared off which was lucky as that is where all the fuel is and thus no fire. It was then just a cylinder sliding down the runway if on the runway. My question is what sheared the wings off? If one wing was sheared off by impact with something the other wing would still be giving lift and thus flip the plane upside down and then was sheared off by another object. Very strange.
The flight recorders and cockpit recorders and black boxes (they are actually bright orange) will have the answers shortly. I hope it is not pilot error but I lean that way for now. I dearly hope I am wrong.
Looks like the rear gear folded/broke/failed upon landing, doesn’t appear to be wind, unless a sudden shear pushed them down hard. I dunno!🤷
The final rate of descent was crazy fast, wasn’t it? More suited to an F-18 landing on a carrier...

I think the hard landing pushed the main landing gear up through the wing breaking both off. The main landing gear attach points are outboard of the fuselage on the wings. Then without wings and MLG, the weight of the tail caused the fuselage to roll. That’s just my guess. Where was the flare before touchdown? I heard a Challenger landed just before the Delta jet did, a smaller business jet.
Yeah, drove it very hard into the runway...why no flare? Wind was fairly strong (something like 28 knots G35 @270 deg.) but not much of a cross wind component for runway 23.
