The sound of touchdown is recorded :08 seconds prior to impact. The nose is lowered and then the sound of collapse is recorded at :00 impact. There are noises associated with belly grinding against the runway. I will hold the next press briefing at 0800 tomorrow morning."
Probably won't be the Board member assigned to brief this mishap, if it even receives the same amount of attention due to the relative insignifcant outcome of this event.

You have lost quite a bit of credibility though with your obsessive criticism of Chairwoman Hersman.

What a goofy response!

Too much flappin in the wind. Someone’s gust aileron-lock is broken, me thinks.

Oh please. It's the truth. I'd shut it if other NTSB Chair had done this kind of thing, but it is unprecedented.

Sorry guys...Gotta go with ShyGuy on this one. The NTSB has given a lot of 'facts' to the media regarding Asiana and watched them run with their half-truths. A little irresponsible if you ask me. Seems like a lot of grandstanding on Hersman's part trying to become a celebrity.

Bring on the haters!

False and already proven in the other thread.

No...the *facts* that the NTSB put out cut DOWN on a lot of the wild speculation that was happening.

I flew the 73NG for a couple years. Why are some of the spoiler panels still up? It looks like the crew probably put the speedbrake lever down because the ground spoilers are retracted, but what's up with the outboard spoilers? Kinda odd.

What actuates the spoilers? If there was hydraulic damage to the assiciated system during the landing, is it possible they are frozen in place?

That's gotta be the most uneventful thing I've ever seen in my life. Some of my rollouts are harder than that and I have all the gear working fine!

I also see that on Huffpost the headline reads, "Plane crash lands at New York airport" Seriously? I mean, I shouldn't be surprised but come on.
