I'm a layperson, but wasn't it kinda good that the plane seperated from the fuel-filled wings?

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

From what I remember the wing joint is one of the strongest on an aircraft being that’s where all the lift forces from the wing transfer to the fuselage. I remember watching wing stress tests and it was frightening how much that joint would flex before it failed. Of course it rolling like that is way more force. I also imagine there wasn’t a huge amount of fuel left if it was landing at the end of a normal flight. But yes I’d still say that was a good thing.

Little ding at the end of the video, pilot turns on the fasten seatbelt sign.

Sector whiteout leading the pilots to forget to flare? Unlikely but maybe?

Other theories:

ILS system interference due to other aircraft causing ILS to report slightly higher height than reality
Wind shear

Looking at it, fortunately it looks like there was just enough time for anyone without a seatbelt to put it on instinctively, before the plane rolled over.

A spectacular response by YYZ's emergency crew in snowy conditions.

My bad I had the timeline of events messed up. Edited.

Man, I don’t know why but I assumed it flipped forward to land upside down like that truck in The Dark Knight. Could not fathom how people survived. Still hard to imagine how nobody died, but I was picturing it so differently.

Seatbelts people!

[–] xnx@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 days ago

That’s why we wear seatbelts in planes i guess
