You can immediately tell the situation's getting tougher for the pilots as the captain says "Watch your speed". That's when they began to fight to keep the plane in the air, but in that low altitude, the microburst was too powerful.

I witnessed the immediate aftermath of this crash in Dallas. Our plane was coming in from Ohara in Chicago and we were in a wait pattern with other planes due to the storms. We landed and saw the smoke from the crash out of the window. The plane slammed down on the road and landing gear samshed vehicle to maybe 2 feet high. The plane then smashed into sections. Police came to our home because family thought it was our flight that crashed. It was horrifying to see the aftermath.

@dryline123 Yes it was a very poweful supercell typical Dallas summery thunderstorms/

[dryline123]

freaky man was it a supercell that it went through

[aircrashdisaster]

I saw this on the 1996 Black Box documantry that they use to make. How a microburts are so strong and vicious it threw a giant L-1011 like a leaf. Shows mother natures POWER!

[FLT111]

@aircrashdisaster Mother nature is very powerful it can practically destroy anything on this earth.

Omg, hearing the crash at the end :(

[FLT111]

@dbritton41 it's frightenining. Lets never forget these accidents. 

[Helicopterpilot16]

I bet they flew through a Micro burst! 

[FLT111]

@Helicopterpilot16 Yep they sure did. Those pilots should be conisdered heros.

[Helicopterpilot16]

@FLT111 They lived!!!!!

[FLT111]

@Helicopterpilot16 Nope they died in the accident but they were considered heros .

[Helicopterpilot16]

@FLT111 No what I meant to ask did anyone survive but now I've seen your edited description. It is amazing that anyone can escape something like this! What did the pilots do to save 29 lives?

[FLT111]

@Helicopterpilot16 Oh, the pilots didn't do anything, it was another fellow passengers I'm not sure of his name and a flight attendant who helped a few passengers to escape the burning plane. Many of the survivors were in the middle where the wings were and the tail section. The pilots were considered heros because they unwittingly flew into a microburst if it wasnt for them today planes wouldn't have this advancing radar system where it can track a microburst.

@FLT111 The 3 flight attendants that survived, Vicki Chavis Jenny Amatulli Wendy robinson all helped passengers get out of the plane except for Jenny Amatulli who was on the left side of the tail section the left side of the tail section was destroyed and she was badly injured unable too free herself from her seat, they should all be considered heroes In my opinion.

[FLT111]

@Maybebluechels Agreed, tjey should be considered heros also
