The rest is just window dressing.

Yep, simple but spot on

The crashworthiness of the A320 family is pretty impressive. 737s tend to break into 3-4 sections in similar circumstances. Another grandfather rule you don’t hear much about.

Oh come on now! It depends on many different factors. Can you back your statement with unbiased evidence?

Job Well done to my Russian neighbors.
With regards to Airbus sturdiness I have to say I am impressed.
Crossing that drainage ditch could have split some other aircraft on the market !

Congratulations again

Ps
Cant help thinking the massive corn first cushioned the touchdown (" Corn effect + Ground effect").
Then made for a rapid deceleration , as the ground run is less then 500 meters.

Fabulous result... but I expect the investigation may find some disturbing facts.

I’ll wait ...

The evidence for this is presented in the 2010 documentary "People & Power - On a wing and a prayer",

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaWdEtANi-0&t=6s

This documentary shows that there were problems with the fail-safe chords of the fuselage in the centre section (around the wings) of the 737NG series (mainly 737-800). These structural members were outsourced and according to fired Boeing employees were faulty, which Boeing is alleged to have ignored. Some 737's have broken up into sections in forced landings similar to this latest incident in Russia.

Does anyone knows the type/species of birds involved in this accident? Tks
Great work by the entire crew.

The next time an idiot CEO, press release from same, IR drivel or some ill informed administrative type( that airlines are full of), waxes lyrically about the "automation" and how pilots are glorified bus drivers point to this and Sully.

It was the seagulls.

Being Pedantic.

From the channels cut in the corn, looks like there may have been a bit of a tailstrike.

And exactly how would you have set her down? Nose first? Or maybe belly-flop her into the corn?

What a #%&§$ comment...


I salute the heroes of Moscow.

Take easy...he was joking!

[lomapaseo]

What factual evidence do we have that both engines lost power and were not recovered by crew actions?

It’s on the flip side of laminated cards which are located at the side of each pilot (the front side being the Normal checklists).

DITCHING on the left, FORCED LANDING on the right.

The DITCHING checklist states DITCHING Pb ON and LANDING GEAR UP, the FORCED LANDING checklist states SPLRS ARM and LANDING GEAR DOWN.

Think you might find that's company specific. That's not what's on the reverse of ours.

Tsss... Medals and awards first, DFDR readout second!

[atakacs]

How long do you keep hydraulics assuming both engine off? Is the RAT auto deploying?
