  • "Crunching" a technical term?

  • Too low(PAPI lights for proof), end of story

  • It turned out that the first officer, who was flying the airplane, was color-blind in the red spectrum and could not distinguish red from white on the PAPI. They concluded he had probably devoloped work-arounds, like using the intensity of the light rather than color determine white from red. In addition, all 3 crewmembers were fatigued and the approach was conducted over a large area of pitch-black forest.

  • What the DAMN HELL DOES 9-11 HAVE TO DO WITH A FEX EX 727 CRASHING INTO SOME TREES? Do you NOT notice the NTSB video in front of you? Its not of 9-11, I can asure you.

  • uhh captain, this isnt a landing in st. maarten, you dont have to be that low that the trees could touch ya!

  • Bad approch , Not lined up, too low. Nothing wrong with going around but then that would look bad.

  • OMG we hit a TREE

  • I hope visibility was damn near zero because that was just stupid.

  • Re: Truthers

    STFU!! already with your conspiracy crap..no one cares to listen or watch your stupid theories. Go give Charlie Sheen a nice ball rub already!

    The F/O never got back at or above glidepath once they decended below 700ft.?? The Capt'n was awful quiet?? Were the trees obscuring the PAPI from their vantage point?

  • Oh shutup about that 9/11 conspiracy bullshit!

  • No he didn't. You are just one of those people that are so easy to manipulate, that you believe anything you hear; and you automatically become an expert on a topic you know NOTHING about. Shut up.

  • is this a ILS landing incident..? it even look like they forgot their landing checklist..

  • Not to mention it was like 4am, and they were all exhausted.

  • They blamed the 'First Officers color vision deficiency' as a contributing factor despite the fact that the 2 other pilots with 'normal' color vision were looking at the same 4 red lights and obviously didn't see them either... Fog could have been an issue as well as the condensation inside the PAPI lights.

  • 4 reds, too low, why did they still decend?

  • wtfk...even i see them coming xD

  • "This reconstruction does not depict weather or visibility conditions at the time of the accident."

  • yup i know is a way of speaking....

  • whaat?! so the pilots didnt see the big 4 fucking red lights?!
