Some incredible videos on Twitter of the actual crash, that thing came in like a missle. Also some horrible videos of the aftermath so be warned if you go looking.

Terrible.

It looked like from video I’ve seen the plane was on fire in the air and flipped over, coming in head on straight down

Awful.

 

[Osaurus]

Very sad to hear. I remember back in the day, a prop plane got free at the NE Airport, crashed through the fence on the east side, went across the road in traffic, and hit a bunch of row homes. This accident sounds a lot worse and that’s pretty bad.

Geez a pediatric patient

Yeah, video is wild. Definitely on fire in the air before the descent.

 

[Osaurus]

Videos out there are crazy

Plane was going to Tijuana Mexico with pediatric patient and mother

 

[Jobber]

God, that’s awful.

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Crazy that something catastrophic could occur within 1 minute of takeoff, if all the proper preflight safety checks had been done.

 

[FarFromHome]

Absolutely brutal images here. So sad.

Yea this was minutes from my grandparents old neighborhood. Northeast Airport is right there. Not sure what malfunctioned but that thing reached altitude and then dropped like a missile. The video of the ring camera on the guys front door was insane.

Horrific. I can't believe those aftermath photos/videos on twitter. Have never really seen human body parts like that before, and never want to again.

Surprised no more talk on this, pretty crazy event.

Surprised no more talk on this, pretty crazy event.

Possible reasons:
- Luka trade
- People exhausted their interest in aviation with a much bigger crash (sort of like how nobody cares who wins when the lottery is $30m)
- it’s Philly


Seriously, I think it is the 2nd item above. This is a tragic event but far narrower and with less intrigue than the DC one. Still awful though.

Glad I didn’t see this. A child and the family returning from the hospital to their native Mexico. So sad. Wouldn’t be surprised if the
doctors were all volunteering their time. Lots of programs like this

Small planes crash all the time. Big ones don't. This also wasn't seemingly a big **** up but instead something broke. Cost of doing business.

Jesus Christ man, people's bodies were splattered all over the neighborhood, not really a cool thing to joke about.

Not that often into residential neighborhoods though I'm assuming.

True.

If I told you there were 2 other plane crashes this week would that surprise you.

Ya, there's a lot more than people think. A close friend of mine passed away in a plane crash 8 years ago, with only him and his student on board.

Not to say any are 'less important', but almost all of the other ones either: 1. Weren't actual crashes, 2. Didn't have over 1 casualty, and 3. Were in a field/body of water/non residential area.

Maybe it's just the images/video going around from the Philly crash that is so disturbing and makes it seem so big.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Heard on local Philly radio this morning that the person killed on the ground was in their car. Just crazy. Can’t imagine sitting in your car and boom, suddenly you’re killed by a plane plummeting out of the sky.

I think I saw that there is ~ 1 crash every 2 days.

Kind of, but not like this. Most of those are 1-2 passenger planes that crash into fields/oceans/mountains.

Ones with more than 5 fatalities in the USA I would guess is maybe 2-3 per year. And those that crash into residential areas I'd probably guess is far less than that.

there's a pretty wild video on reddit of people sitting in a restaurant, seemingly frozen and looking out the window in what, i'm assuming, is the immediate aftermath of the crash.. when a projectile rockets through the video and takes a hat off the head of a guy sitting in a booth.

What is it these days? Another one. This time Delta in Toronto. Luckily it looks like everyone survived, but the images of the plane rolled into it's back are wild.

Might want to change the thread title to "______ crashed in _______ today".

 

[TLEF316]

So....at what point do we start getting really concerned?

 

[Sand]

Not concerned yet. The timing is crazy, but at least there is no string to tie them together. The DC crash was human error (and not the plane). I don't think we've heard what happened in Philly or Alaska. All we know about this one is that the winter weather up there is pretty bad. Planes aren't anything similar (big jet, Cessna, Lear, etc.).

 

[FairWarning]

The Toronto crash sounded like a combo of a icy runway and gusty winds.

 

[BassNBrew]

If we were supposed to fly we'd have wings.

 

[Alex P Keaton]

Was just flying in/out of Toronto last week. I fly somewhere almost every single week. I’m not someone prone to reacting to anecdotal evidence……but even I’m starting to get nervous at this point……it won’t stop me from flying (yet) but ugh…..

Not as often as you but I fly ~ once a month for work. And yes I'm starting to get a little more nervous than usual (I've never had any fear of flying before).

The video is pretty crazy

I’m flying out this weekend to meet a friend to go hiking. I’m feeling ok. My buddy doesn’t love flying as it is. He’s not loving all this. Told him to stop watching the news this week. Ignorance is bliss.

There's a second video here.
Looks like the plane started smoking and pitched right and downward just before it landed.

Followup:

Plane that landed upside down in Toronto was descending at a high rate of speed, preliminary report shows

The report broke down a second-by-second play of the moments before the landing. At 2:12:40, 3.6 seconds before touchdown, the rate of descent had increased. One second later the flight’s enhanced ground proximity warning system “sink rate” alert sounded, indicating a high rate of descent. Then, 1.6 seconds before touchdown, the aircraft “was slightly below the glide slope” — a system that guides an aircraft down to the runway during landing for a controlled descent. The right main landing gear of the plane made contact with the runway at 2:12:43. At touchdown, a part of the right main landing gear fractured, the landing gear folded into the retracted position, the wing root fractured between the fuselage (the main body of the plane) and the landing gear, and the wing detached, “releasing a cloud of jet fuel, which caught fire,” the report said. Then the plane slid on the runway and the body of the plane rolled to the right until it became upside down. "A large portion of the tail, including most of the vertical stabilizer and the entire horizontal stabilizer, became detached during the roll," the report said.
