Firstly, in 11 years of reading PPRUNE, ive never seen the server thrashed so much. How annoying is that server too busy message?
Anyways, i'm waiting with eager anticipation for the facts to emerge. From the facts I have seen so far I can't believe the conclusion I am led to.
1. Aircraft lands short but within airfield boundary, not on runway.
2. Incredibly short 'landing roll'.
3. Multiple passengers saying no word from flight deck.
This surely can only mean significant loss of power for some reason.
Aircraft only just makes it to the field and has very low forward speed on touch down.
I would be amazed if its windshear. I really can't see windshear powerful enough to do that to a 777 coming out of todays weather, you would need severe TS.
Fuel starvation is plausable but both engines on short final with no word to ATC beforehand? I cant see that either.
A lot of large birds would be needed to instantly and catastrophically shut down both donks at once so I can't see that either.
So we will see.
I'm raising a glass to Boeing for making such tough tractors.
