Indeed, amazing footage.
I gather wind sheer caused the crash, but even looking at the
footage, while you see the wing dip suddenly, it has corrected
before the fireball?
Did it hit something on landing or was it just a delay after the
wing hit the ground before the fuel ignited?
The reason for asking was I was onboard a Pan Am 747 that
suffered an engine fire late on finals in to JFK in 1989.
We too experienced a dramatic downward pitch of wing just
feet off the runway, but the crew landed the plane safely with
seemingly no other effects other than extreme braking and cabin
projectiles.
I assumed the braking was due to the engine not being able to
be placed in reverse thrust?
