minus-squareCameronDevlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·6 days agoBad week for aviation. Looked like a perfectly survivable gear-up landing, if it weren’t for the wall at the end of the runway :(
minus-squareeRac@lemmings.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·6 days agoThere aren’t many details available in that article, but it does mention ‘bird strike’ and attempting to land ‘the other way’. That implies gear-up landing with at least one engine out and a tailwind. Not a lot of options for slowing down.
