Hello all. Not having flown this type of plane, but having around 1100 total time, I am sure many of you know, that it is NOT ATC's fault this plane landed. You are taught from the start of your training, that you can decline a clearance or an approach if weather is that bad for you to make a landing. I am curious why this plane did infact continue an approach. Also, was this the only plane at the time coming in to land? We just don't know. Watching MSNBC, because I feel Robert Hager is a very knowledgable person when it comes to these situations. FOX doesn't have someone like Mr. Hager/.

 

[PAPA FOX!]

Global TV is reporting "no fatalities." Hope they're right but would be shocked if everyone was that lucky. CA and FO have survived.

Maybe because the Capt thought it was OK............

A witness is claiming that he saw the aircraft struck by lighting on the rollout!!!!!!!!!

....although the view through the bottom of his bong may have distorted the light a little bit.

Fox News is interviewing someone who just got there Private pilot license, asking for their "professional" opinion.

I just heard this too - LMAO!

I swear, if I ever have a daughter, I'd rather her tell me that she wants to be a two dollar hooker than a journalist.

LOL - this private pilot's wisdom about head winds vs. tail winds is priceless.

LOL.... I agree.... what a bunch of idiots......

He told them that if there is a tailwind, that a wing can't fly.......

Wow, I didn't know that ATC could see lightning strikes on their radar! Magic radar!
