This one will cause a bit of speculation for a while. At least most people survived including the pilots.

It's a conspiracy.

Rolls Royce Trent engines ????

Rooting a stewardess

The plane was said to be swaying about and too low and too fast then tried to pull up

We will have to wait , I suppose

The results of the investigation should be out by 2020

I have heard from a reliable source that that geezer Snowden was on that flight and was one of those who was found dead.

I heard from the local Parki dairy owner that the pilot was a muslim. They both attended the same training camp apparently.

With the complete lack of skill that can be observed in a lot of the CPLs that pass through the system nowadays, this accident doesn't surprise me.

Those two facts tie in together,

Triple 7's have had a bit of a problem with there fuel lines freezing up during long power off descents, e.g. the British Airways 777 that gilded just making it into Heathrow several years ago.

Shit training camp then, he couldn't even hit the runway.

There's a good thread about it here.

That crash also involved a 777 fitted with Trent engines, but it is beleived that the modifications carried out by RR solved that issue. That is why this investigation will be very interesting.

Not true, he did hit the runway. He hit it hard.

These guys generally have very reliable reporting.

By the look of the pics, the a/c was way bellow the glidepath, and then tried to pull up at the last moment. Hence the nose up attitude. As some suggested, possibly wrong altimeter setting could be the cause. Will have to wait untill the all parties finish their investigations. I would say this one will be an urgent one considerring number of T7's flying around. But Somehow I doubt it was the equipment fault as all of the approach and landing phase looked normal prior to the touch down (as far as engine performance etc goes anyway)

[Swoop]

The overhead and descent are normal, up to the last mile. It goes downhill from there (pardon the pun).

I have been watching a bit of that programe about plane crashes( mayday??) just lately, and the investigations into why they crashed. It is amazing how even just a small human error can cause such carnage. Seem to be mostly human error too. Very interesting.
