If the tracks in the snow from the photos are the only ground markings and that plane initially hit pavement, then it’s got some magic bullet physics going on.

No disrespect, but I've noticed every time I hear C5 on the radio, either the crew is confused, transmitting with a barely intelligible heavy accent, getting yelled at by ATC, or it sounds like it's the FO's first day...what gives. Just my observations over the past 8 years in Newark. I know I'm not the only one noticing this.

Well, now that it's in the news....it must be true!!

Okay, I see it was the NTSB doing the reporting.
Yeah, think those lines in the snow sort of spoke for themselves.

Getting harder to explain to the CP.
