    “Oh f*k oh f**k oh nononono - Tower are you seeing this airplane crash?- oh god oh no”

    Pilots really have no nonsense for proper radio communication. Airforceproud95 lied to me.

      Lol, there was one case of a passenger who ignored instructions to put on seatbelt, and ended up being the sole survivor because he got thrown out of the plane right before it exploded.

      Like… imagine surviving because you ignored safety instructions 🤣

      I’m no air crash investigator, but I’m pretty sure someone turned off flight mode.

    Having watched a Mentour Pilot video, I am an expert on plane crashes. The problem is that the part that’s supposed to be on the top is now on the ground and that part on the bottom is now on top. You have to keep those in the right positions for a safe landing.

    Until the plane touches ground it looks like a normal landing, crazy. So glad no one died.

    After what happened in Korea it seems incredibly lucky that everyone survived. Thank god there was no concrete wall this time.

    It looks like this is being filmed from another aircraft (big pillar in the middle of the window). Why was this pilot filming, it seems like they’d see planes landing all the time so was there something special about the landing - bad weather perhaps …

      I think you’re probably right.

      Tricky landing in shitty weather. Just filming to share in group chat as in “look at this shitty weather we have to take off in”. Something like that.

          Yes? Do you not see the ground covered in ice and snow and the strong winds kicking it up? Not exactly GOOD weather to be taking off and landing in

            Yeah it’s really unheard of in Toronto and unexpected this especially this time of year. Ice and snow. Looks like wind speed was about 30 to 40 miles per hour. Seems like they would know better than to attempt to land outside the parameters of the aircraft.

              I genuinely don’t know if you’re trying to be sarcastic.

              The linked article mentions the wind.

              You can’t estimate wind speed from this video.

              None of the passengers mentioned mechanical problems.

              It’s reasonable to conclude that the guy was filming the landing because the weather was particularly inclement.

                Who said I used the video to estimate? It’s hard to estimate from the video why the other pilot was filming the landing.

                  No one said you used the video to estimate, I just assumed that no one would be stupid enough to think that a weather website can tell you the windspeed of that particular gust at that particular location.

                  The pilot was experiencing the weather because he was physically there in person, not watching a video.

                  I’m genuinely curious to know why do you think the pilot was filming?

              In conclusion:

              • Bad weather for planes

              • Average (good?) weather for Toronto as this time of year

    The way the nose and tail jiggle when it hits the ground looks like a hard landing, but the glide slope isn’t that crazy. I’m betting it was a freak gust that stalled the right wing just after the flare, causing the right gear to collapse.

      knowing how much planes weigh… and I have only been in a plane a few times, but does that not look like it slams down way too hard? feels like coming down that fast could break the landing gear.

        Yeah, they usually don’t jiggle like that. However, the plane was very stable prior to that and on what looks like a normal glide slope.

        One thing I just learned is that there was a pretty stiff crosswind, so they had to yaw to the left to straighten out. This normally means the right wing gets a bit more lift so you compensate with right stick to keep it level.

        A wind gust at the right time would have caused the wing to not gain lift and the aileron correction could have sent the wing into the ground.

    I’m a layperson, but wasn’t it kinda good that the plane seperated from the fuel-filled wings?

      A YouTuber and pilot “Mentour now” talked about the crash and yeah, it was very lucky the wings separated from the plane. Leaving all the fuel and fire behind.

      Adult planes don’t normally shed their wings until the end of their life, or in rare cases as part of SALT negotiations

      From what I remember the wing joint is one of the strongest on an aircraft being that’s where all the lift forces from the wing transfer to the fuselage. I remember watching wing stress tests and it was frightening how much that joint would flex before it failed. Of course it rolling like that is way more force. I also imagine there wasn’t a huge amount of fuel left if it was landing at the end of a normal flight. But yes I’d still say that was a good thing.
