re #744.. video of accident aftermath. Is it just me, or is that WEIRD. There are no signs of the emergency services, which would indicate this was recorded VERY soon after impact.

Looks like it's done on a phone (?), but by whom? What kind of passenger would a) be un-stunned enough to have the presence of mind to do that, and b) wouldn't be trying to help people, rather than faffing around with a phone?

If the recorder is a local bystander, then b applies. You could clearly hear people in distress.

As a total non-pilot, but one who puts my life in the hands of you guys on a regular basis, I've always been content to read this site - but this video has forced me to break my silence.

And for all my safe landings, I'm sure some of you on here must have been at the controls, so I thank you
