  • You know what cargo pilots love about their job that airline pilots don't...besides the HUGE payscale difference (boxes pay way more for a "seat" than a pax)

    Boxes don't complain.

  • nice /not

  • in the kid sitting next to me's words at 1:10 "that's unfortunate"

  • As an instructor I thought the crew did a pretty good job of correcting the cross wind. I think the only issue was the hard touchdown. In my opinion the FO click out the crab way too high though. I suspect he saw he was losing his cross wind correction because of this and wanted to get the wheels on the ground to correct it. As a result, insufficient flare and a hard landing on the gear.

  • wow

  • There was a crosswind but it was well within the safe limits. This accident was caused mostly by pilot error, specifically the first officer who didn't slow the plane enough for a good landing and wasn't properly lined up. The crosswind did contibute though by causing the right wing to be a bit lower which is why the right landing gear was stressed beyond its design limits.

  • whoa major crosswind!

  • Um... it was a crash and it did burn
