Delta airlines plane crash lands at Pearson airport

[Phil C. McNasty]

So from piecing together several news reports it appears the strong wind tilted one of the wings towards the tarmac, it scraped the runway, that wing then broke off, which caused the wind to lift up the remaining wing, which in turn flipped the plane over.

Something like that anyways

With all the weird shit that’s been happening since early Jan, I’d like a restart of the 2025 Sim, please. This time with patches.

Based on preliminary reports, that sounds like a reasonable chain of events. Of course, time will tell. Anyway, scary shit when it happens to you, but flying is still an extremely safe way to travel.

Your odds of dying in a plane crash are 1 in 11 million. Compared to the lifetime odds of dying in a car crash which are 1 in 93.

Not to mention, studies show that over 95% of passengers involved in a plane crash actually survive.

Sounds like the plane clipped a snowplow on the runway.

That makes more sense

And the odds when you're on an aircraft in Russian airspace is?

Seriously? That shit should never happen.

And the odds when you're on an aircraft in Russian airspace is?

Ha, I know what you're saying, but I bet it's still surprisingly safe.

CNN has been interviewing aviation analyst Peter Goelz(former managing director of the American National Transportation Safety Board) throughout the day. He has been incredibly complimentary to the Transportation Safety Board of Canada.

With the major wind gusts, if a plow was involved, it was likely the plow would be on an adjacent taxiway.
Normally not a problem.

But if a gust pushed the plane to be well off the centreline of the runway, with a wing way further over than it normally would be, then it could be catastrophic.

LOL. If that was the case it would have been reported by now.

if the Americans can't even land a plane under adverse weather conditions, how are they able to annex Canada ? LOL

Watching the video over and over, the back left landing gear may have collapsed at landing. An uneducated guess.

Looked like the landing gear broke for me too.
But I thought it was the right landing gear, causing the right wing to hit the tarmac, causing the plane to bounce the other way.
Eventually leading to it rolling on its side and ending up on its back.

Looked like a very hard landing but I am no expert.

There could also be other planes vortexs as well as the wind
causing the hard landing

I am surprised the ceiling was so strong that it never collasped or tore apart

 

[261252]

Slamming the airliner down onto the tarmac as hard as this pilot seemed to is what broke the landing gear I'd say.

Looks like it was not a hard landing

How can an airplane flip over? | Watch

That's because far fewer people operate planes versus the mumber of people lthat operate cars. If every adult was permitted to fly a plane, you can bet the odds would he similar to car crashes.
