Looks like that throw away jet is pretty tough.

I only got to about page 4 of 8 of the story. But I found it condescending. It took quite a few cheap shots at the pilots and private aviation. I think he misunderstood the analogy of the Devil at work all together.

Has it been determined where on the 737 that the Wing tip and Horizontal tip of the Legecy made contact with the Boeing.

Seems like little damage on one to destory the other.

The point of impact is illustrated on page 27 of the English version of the midair collision final report.

The top of the B737's left winglet impacted the left tip of the horizontal stabilizer on the Legacy. The middle of the B737 wing impacted roughly the middle of the Legacys winglet.

I believe the Legacy's LEFT winglet cut the center or outboard center of the 737's LEFT wing from underneath.

The winglet "knifed" the Boeing from underneath which casued the 737's LEFT wing to bend upwards and detach, spiraling around the fuselage and impacting the 737's tail.

This is one sad, sad tragedy. Listening to those tapes is horrifiying. Seriously.

Hey 200- My verison differs from yours. I could clearly be wrong. Just from my recollection.

We posted within a minute of each other.

 

[Amish RakeFight]

I reread your post and I think you did mention the Legacy's winglet. I seem to have just been aware of the Legacy's cut more than what the 737 did to the Legacy.

anyway...

Here's a good illustration of the impact:
