TAM A320 crash at Congonhas, Brazil

[Rippa]

The guy meant 1000ft, and believe me, the media is saying lots of BS...Today, there was an "aviation specialist" explaining how an engine in reverse thrust works...he used a car wheel as an example, saying that “Imagine what would happen to a car if the right wheel is spinning forward an the left one is spinning in reverse...apply that to an airplane and you will undersatnd what happend...so you can imagine what happened to the Airbus” . Oh, and there was also an animation showing what happens when the pilot selects reverse thrust: engine fan reversing the blades direction from clockwise to counterclockwise! Really good explanation.. Some times I just feel like jumping into the TV
