    Bad week for aviation.

    Looked like a perfectly survivable gear-up landing, if it weren’t for the wall at the end of the runway :(

      There 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.

        Yeah, its extremely unfortunate. It was so close to being a success story :(
