Why is his fault? the pilot must become god and control the weather too?

@rode1979 no that was probely cause tthe weather was bad that year

[yoyoyoyoshua]

@rode1979 idiot it's not the pilots fault when the plane breaks down unless he saw a crack and did nothing or flipped the wrong switch or took off in a overloaded plane.

@ERAUPRCWA A month?! Mine was out for about 4 days. 4 days without T.V is painful. Man, you were lucky lol.

[ERAUPRCWA]

@yourhot266 couple days? uh, some places were out for a month! fortunately my home was only out for about 12 hours.

@beergut111 I didn't mean to seem as if I was saying it was it's just a big plane so when it's been knocked of the approch path like that it's hard to recover

[beergut111]

@Cactus732 its not anymore difficult in wind than anything else. it takes the gusts better than most planes.

[Cactus732]

@beergut111 i'm sure it is on a calm day but the unpredictability of wind gusts makes flying anything very difficult this pilot has it under control all the way to the flare and then that last gust is the one that caused the problem

[beergut111]

@Cactus732 757 is actually pretty easy to fly.
