I'm still surprised by how few people are calling this a plane crash. United must be working some major Delta-style PR magic right now. Maybe United finally learned its PR lesson?

Wow that picture. Yea, that’s a crash. Thank God everyone walked away from this. If the CVR is a tough listen, the crew is fried. Hope they come out ok.

My wife (not a pilot) looked at that picture (I'm a former C5 pilot) and she made a very good comment...

Thank goodness there was a lot of snow to cushion- it could've been way worse!

Glad everyone was able to walk away and hope for better days ahead at C5.

Meh. Pilots obviously did not comply with the FARs if the pictures are to be believed.

This. Snow alone shouldn't make that happen. If it did, then places like MSP and YYZ would look like minefields.

MSP and (im assuming) YYZ have great snow removal, that probably played a key factor. If the runway was covered in 1in of snow I could see using the loc to help identify the runway, if what the other posters say is true and the 145 would show the loc offset by 100' that could have been the recipe that led to this. glad everyone is ok and hope the cvr makes the crew look good
