HAHAH!

On a more serious note, was that the first "crash" at SBH?

If the fuel is stored in the wing, and that wing snaps, there could be a fire, (I seriously doubt Jet A or 100 LL explodes; it more or less burns).

That was definitely some improper decision-making in the cockpit..

Im not going to say it was all the pilots fault... There was no sound for me when i played it, so I didnt hear any of the conversation...


Was there something wrong with the plane, that may have put him in a land or land situation...


To quote a movie, "Yea we are going to land alright!, But the word is Crash!"

Anyone know the whole story behind that, or is it just a viral video one of you guys drummed up on the internet.

The second time I played it I heard the sound track - it was just the guy filming commenting. Of course there could have been extenuating circumstances It could also have been exactly what it **looks** like - a poor approach to a landing, what looks like a badly timed flare, followed by an extensive float, a headwork error not to go around, and a final ending in the sand.
In any case - we should all put ourselves in a similar situation and decide how s/he would have handled the situation differently and maybe such a thing won't happen to us!

Very true... I still dont have sound....


It is a very poor decision. To land that is. If in fact it was just an out right bad decision. I would still like to see the rest of the back story...

could've been so easily avoided...

slowing the vid down you see the wind socked pegged, thats probably the reason for why he choose to land that direction, but that hill leads me to believe I would never WANT to land that direction, i assume that hill doesn't meet any type of 50ft obstacle clearance limits

He's also landing downhill.

Too bad he couldn't make the "high-speed" at the end of the runway!:rolleyes:

HAHA very funny. I never heard staying with the aircraft after a crash was what you where supposed to do. But if I knew the plane still had fuel I would be half way down the field by then. But thats just me.
