Just trying to work out what the glider was doing at the time and where the impact was. Judging by the angle of the gash across the nose he was at a fairly high bank angle, maybe circling in a thermal? In that attitude it would be extremely difficult to pick him up visually!
If the jet hit the outboard end of the starboard wing then the fuselages must have been fairly close together, everyone involved was extremely lucky!
The pax reported a heavy bank to the right. Would the moment arm with the engine out be enough to cause a rapid uncommanded roll at descent power, or is this a technique for losing height rapidly? I know some a/c call for high AOB to lose height rapidly in the case of rapid decompression. Anyone fly these birds know whether this might be the case?
Seriously good job to land the aircraft with the instruments popped out like that, the impact must have been pretty large to penetrate that far into the fuselage!
A reasonably happy ending to what could have been a very sad incident!
Reminds us all to keep an eye outside the aircraft!!!
