Boeing 777 crash at SF

[5150]

Or you get to join the Galunggung Gliding Club...

Wasn't that the 747 BA flight that flew into the ash cloud back in the 80's?

Slightly off topic here but........ If you like gliders, watch the glider flight into milford sound sometime. Tis on ewwwtube.

Watched that a little while back. Impressive and "weird" both at once!

Yup.

For Boeing the Gimli Gliding Club would be a better choice. http://www.wadenelson.com/gimli.html

tail strike in planes is allowed for,but this was beyond expectations





of course the Chinese themselves are not beyond reproach.....

[Scouse]

something like this:

teenagers in tail section of plane-tail section of plane breaks off with said teenagers still inside-teenagers end up on runway behind plane-following fire truck didnt see ya mate

squashed teenagers

very sad ,very ironic

Not quite like that if you saw the initial pictures of the plane after the crash landing the rear pressure dome was still in place attached to the fusalage so when the tail section came free it would not have had any passengers strapped into it because the passengers are on the other side of the pressure dome.
