Crash fkn landings whatever it's a title yeah?
Was just reading the B-58 thread and for some reason, my immediate and instinctive reaction is ' not a chance - those boys are gone for sure'.
Realistically, what do we think your odds of survival are putting down (on other than rwy) in a twin? Know a couple of guys who've pranged in 'other than the paddocks you choose in PFL training', while flying C 100 and 200 series and while not walked away, lived to tell the tale....
...you can stall a 172 into a forest canopy and with a bit of luck on your side, you've survive the impact. By the time you're talking B-58, you're dreaming, right?....

I know/knew some guys:
One dead-sticked onto very rough but generally level terrain. He limped away with permanent injuries.
One mushed onto flat ground and walked away without a scratch.
One was in an aircraft which was ditched onto fairly flat water and was killed when a piece flew off and struck him. The rest waded ashore.
One was in a slow single and carried out a text-book forced landing, after which the aircraft was steered right suddenly and it struck a tree. He was killed while the pax walked away unhurt.
It's all a matter of luck in any terrain but I do not like your chances in ANY aircraft, landing on the foliage canopy. That requires extra luck which many GA drivers have already expended in other situations.
By the way, adding "Yeah?" at the end of your statements makes you sound like a pommy tw@t. Sorry, don't mean to offend by that, it's just the best way I can think to draw it to your attention.

There's your answer on the other link, I'm afraid. Neither of the two occupants survived the landing.
I don't care how it happened, there but for the grace of God goes (or went) any one of us.
RIP.

What about a PA 31 that landed 1/2NM short of Darwin 2 years ago.
He walked away. But he was Maori. Dumb as **** but a big fu$ker thats for sure.
"**** bro not enough juice in dah tanks, a, ahhhhahhh ****, jezzz!"

I remember years ago when in PNG reading a report of a c206 flown by a National Pilot that went into the jungle canopy after a catastrophic engine failure. The Pilot crawled out of the wreckage once it had stopped with only minor injuries if memory serves correctly.
The description of the sequences of the impact were illuminating to say the least. If I can obtain a copy I'll endevour to post it.
You only live twice. Once when
you're born. Once when
you've looked death in the face.

Slight thread creep
Heres a Austrian Fokker70 that in 2004 landed well short of Munich after losing power on both engines.
They put the aircraft down in a frozen field.....no deaths/injuries.
