  • @Imamakeithappen why'd you watch it then jackass

  • It was pilots fault hehhe

  • i see you mitch

  • Mechanical error, it was that, or hit a school so be thankful it hit that.

  • that was my friend trolling

  • Perhaps they didn't have the chance in this particular situation but the pilot is supposed to guide the aircraft away from populated areas prior to ejecting. I just hope that by some miracle nobody on the ground was injured or killed. I'm glad the pilots made it and I know that if someone was injured or killed on the ground, they won't let themselves live it down. My prayers go out to those affected by this crash.

  • im gonna guess and say either both engines died or they had no hydraulic control

  • I dont want any comments about how its the pilots fault until more updates come in

    It was more than likely a mechanical failure so dont go blaming anyone just yet

  • I was a mechanic on these jets until i got out in 2009. For the majority everyone from when i was there were straight forward and stuck to the tech pubs. Lets just hope that no short cuts were taken during maintenance. I tried to get a hold to friends that still work there. It is a very scary moment for everyone involved. I pray that there was no one killed in the apt buildings.

see all
