If it's a Boeing I ain't going.:mad:

That's about as stupid as it gets, this model flies tens of thousands of flights daily without incident and has no history of landing gear problems, dollars for donuts it was crappy or unperformed maintenance. Airbus, Boeing, MD, Lockheed all have had to deal with problems from time to time, the 787 is still teething problems but overall Boeing makes good planes.

no biggy. couple days it'll be flying again.

No, the FAA has to do a mandatory post-accident inspection then when they are done the plane will need a lot more work than you think, it will need a full hull inspection to be sure the force of the landing didn't cause hidden damage, then you got both engine nacelle's on the ground which means they probably sucked in some dirt as well, more like months before this bird can fly again.

There's an LGA tower air traffic controller that posts on here. I won't point out his username, but maybe he'll make some off the record comments ;)

But really, he can't sadly... stuff like this is taken quite seriously these days

so nose gear hit the runway first?! no wonder it collapsed.

the wing gear is suppose to touch first and is designed to take the punishment of the full weight of the plane.

the nose gear, not so much.

those pilots f'd up BIG time.

captain was Rusty Landers and copilot Seymore Asphult

What I don't understand, what happened to people...

When something bad happened, who would cheer about? A SICK PERSON...isn't it so?
Why even word "cheer", "cheering" is used on a tread like this?

Someone has a fetish - feels good, when someone else is suffering? Isn't that SICK too?

Doesn't matter, what aircraft it was - Boeing, Dreamliner, Airbus, Bombardier, Embraer...etc...

Would you "cheer" if you were on that aircraft?

I remember...after 9/11 it was: "UNITED WE STAND", but what I see lately, it looks like: "DIVIDED WE FALL"

I think, when something like in OP happens, not only to cheer, but to use "cheer" word just might show, how someone is sick...and no cure....

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH

That could be another plane coming in over head or THE FUCKING JOKE CLEARLY GOING OVER YOUR HEAD.

I'll let you decide.

Every time I see you post, you post something hateful towards/about Americans. Your schtick is getting about as old as Alky's Mom jokes bro.
