Yeah, because he planted that shit into the runway…I’m sure he meant to make more of a firm landing due to the weather and runway contamination, but nowhere near that firm.
Front landing gear was still intact in video from the guy getting out walking away. Seems like right gear shattered then barrel-rolled to right after wing snap. Crazy lucky, those people are! YT video
Is every landing plane video recorded or was this just a coinky dink? Did the pilot radio any trouble before landing? Seems like a steep landing to me. Down draft? poor piloting?
Geeez our flight out of IAH had to make an emergency return due to a maintenance issue with the landing gear not retracting. What is the deal with these maintenance issues?
Looks to me like the right rear landing gear could have collapsed.

Yeah I was seeing reports that the plane had a very steep landing with a very slow approach.
in strong cross winds
DEI hire?
It did look like a hard landing.
Lots of landing gear issues lately? Maintenance lacking?

I have never before seen an airline incident with no loss of life covered so extensively. Whats up with that?
