A landing 737 has an awful lot of momentum. As that's scrubbed off hitting the water, it would be almost inconceivable that some of it isn't converted to angular momentum in the process.

From the BBC and Sky's photos, there was no fire, and it looks like the 3 engines have buried themselves in the soft ground: vertical impact.

Very sad. RIP.

I've found the mythbusters on YouTube. The window test is at 3:00. Take a look and see if you think it's nessesary for debris to enter the cabin to cause serious...

I've just rewatched it (season 1, episode 10). In their tests they couldn't get a crash test dummy to be sucked out of the plane, in any scenario.

However, they did blow out the window in a manner...

Fairly intact tail section resting close to engines and fuel tanks, together with the proximity to the end of runway suggest a stall to me.

Condolences to all involved.

The kevlar shroud is damaged on its starboard side (away from fuselage). There is interesting scoring on the inside of the intake duct. Would that be caused by fan movement caused by imbalance? Or...

I agree entirely. That was not what I meant.

My analysis is this. When the pilot is cleared to land on 28R, there is an implicit instruction here to be careful not to land on 28L. These pilots...

While engaged in boundless speculation, we should not forget inadequately stowed cargo. Like at Bagram.

To me it looks like the CofG got in front of the centre of buoyancy. Possibly because of the fuel used up,as mc suggested. I'm guessing they must trim it by...

Relevant to MH370?

This morning I read this article (http://www.theguardian.com/business/2015/aug/19/lithium-battery-review-boeing-dreamliner-fire-heathrow) in the Guardian. This afternoon I wondered whether it could...

Boy, is this thread off-topic! Is there another one which I have missed which is discussing QZ8501?

Here's an observation which may or may not be relevant. The plane decelerated from horizontal Mach 0.82 to 107 knots over a period of 3 min 30s. By my estimate that is an average horizontal...

Why "recommended"? Why is it not in the AFM? Would it be because including it would involve Boeing admitting liability in the 1987 accident? I hope not, because if true, now they've got two.

OK call it 130 knots if you want. It's still bloody fast to go out of control.

My point is that after the gear collapsed that speed needed to be cut to zero, and an engine nacelle...
