Looks like he was try to land Thrust reverses are deployed and flaps appear to be at 40 degrees and stab trim looks like set to landing position

Makes sense. If it was a takeoff, there would have been a lot more damage and carnage.

[Yota]

Yeah it was a landing on a short runway that was rain slick.

[Oscar]

OHOH bet aintskid got a work out

[Steve]

But hey, if you're taking a trip to the beach, that's pretty good service. :D

Nope.






















Looks to me like he landed okay, he was just having a little trouble stopping.:D

It's going to take a big winch to winch him back up again.

Seriously. Calling Clyde and his closest buddies. :D

The Embraer 190 has a basic operating weight (no passengers) of 61,000 lbs.

[Dave McDonald]

If the runway was a conveyor belt, would he have gotten afloat?


Don't throw rocks, you know some of you thought about it too.

Watched a show last night on Discovery about the Abrams tank. They got one stuck bad (pretty much buried) in a mud bog. Brought in some big-ass military winch vehicle and pulled it out - and it wasn't running so it was dead weight. Those weigh 122,800 lbs. :eek:

The D rings they used were real big, and they got waaaaay far away from the cable during the winching. ;)

[Yota]

I might get a barge and tug and try to pull it out onto the barge. Looks like backing it up would do some serious damage. But I'm probably wrong. :D

[longboy]

Anybody heard from Mack lately? He went to South America for 3 weeks :eek:

I talked to him yesterday, so I know he wasn't in the Brazil flight...

[ColoradoSkier]

Guess he didn't "stick" the landing... :D

[Oscar]

I am betting they will air bag it and put dunnage under it and then tow it back

I love the random leg in the lower-left pic. :D

approach angle then

Now quit confusing these guys with your advanced knowledge...

Was Dunnage the Pilot? Why does he deserve a fate like that? It was all the drunk monkey's fault, not his.

Is Wally learning to fly???? :D

[Jerry]

I bet saul was the pilot:flipoff2:

[Sound_Man]

The treadmill stopped moving and the monkey jumped off the plane

Shirley you jest.

[Mike Boyle]

No, all the wheels are on the ground. Couldn't be Wally! :flipoff2:

[Jake_Blues]

Shirley you jest.

No, I'm serious. And don't call me Shirley.

[Oscar]

Serious Black?

[89minitruck]

That's not gonna look good on the resume.

[Mack]

:thumbsdown:

If that's all you have, i'm pretty shocked. A plane sliding off the runway with 7 injured isn't quite the big news that happened yesterday (http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/americas/07/17/brazil.plane.crash/index.html?iref=newssearch). Honestly, I'm f**king embarrassed at American news media, where a steam pipe blowing up is the 'big news' today. That said, I landed at that airport a few hours earlier and the shock hasn't quite set in yet, considering I spent a couple of hours watching the flames/smoke from my hotel room.

RIP victims, you deserved much better.

[Dave McDonald]

Shirley you jest.

Sorry, the pilot was a woman? Shirley Dunnage? I still don't think she deserves to have to try to lift the thing all by herself, especially since men have more upper body strength than women.

I have been embarassed about our news media for a very long time. We haven't received an accurate global view of things for a very long time...

Yeah. Like I'm going to stick my face next to something that everyone's ass has been in contact with...

No kidding - I mean, CNN couldn't even spell 'mourning' correct. :rolleyes:

Mack: Glad to hear you're alright. :thumbsup:
