Wow... I'd assumed it was a massive crosswind but it looks like the winds were right down the runway with 10 knot gusts. I'm sure it was a somewhat tricky approach but that doesn't sound that cosmic... I wonder if someone completely chopped the power...

I've flown with the Captain involved in this incident a few times, and he seemed like a good stick. The winds in PVG do some strange things midfield where T3 & T4 bisect the field between terminals, especially when they're strong and gusty. Maybe that was a factor.

Do we really want to evaluating this event here with snippets of second and third hand information? Are we really being fair to our own pilots? The data will come out with QAR data, and through the work of if the ERC. Once the real facts are established then we'll be able to say something intelligently.
These crewmembers are dealing with a lot today. Speculation is a natural part of these events, so I don't judge anyone for wondering what happened. Still, it's not helpful at this point. Perhaps it may be time to get some message out to dial back the speculation til the facts emerge? The union has done this in the past
