Quite right. Although having mentioned something similar last night the 'Gestapo' was after me.
There was no excuse for this.
Lucky outcome but a string of bad decisions leading to a likely unstable approach followed by a terrible landing and a bent airframe as a result. Not to mention, the poor folk down the back that were involved.
As for the 787, only time will tell how the composite airframe handles such stresses IF its unlucky enough to end up in such a pickle.
Has Gestapo gone back to Flight Sim 2004 to try it out perhaps?
