Ouch

 

[bunker]

For some reason that crash didn't look all that bad.

Glad no one was killed.

Holy crap, people actually live in Alaska?!

Bunker, it probably looked scarier to the people inside.

pilot did a decent job, I wonder why it spun out tho. Looks like maybe he crunched the nose gear or hit some unseen object with the left wing.

 

[Brutuskend]

I bet that's the first time ever a game was called on account of "Plane Crash"!

 

[conjur]

All we had to worry about when were kids was yelling out, "Car!"

Looks like he came in a little off to the one side, it appears the left rear gear touched down just before the other side.

But, yes, the pilot did a good job...

Man, this does not surprise me one bit. Cessnas are a flying piece of sh*t with wings. I won't fly one. They feel so unstable and fragile, even on the ground, that I'm afraid that if I ever go up in one I'll get killed. Dumb things crash way too often for my liking. Besides, I prefer to fly the must sturdier jet powered private single seater aircraft. People who buy Cessnas are fools in my book. Some would disagree, but that's my opinion.

Considering all that was against him in that crash, yes. 10 points and 2 thumbs up to the pilot. That was a very good crash landing.

A good landing is one you can walk way from... Poster

 

[LordRaiden]

A good landing is one from which you can walk away...
A great landing is one after which they can use the plane again.

Amen to that one!

WTF are you talking about? Have you ever flown before?

The engine died, and you immediately fault Cessna? Talk about post hoc ergo propter hoc...

It wasn't that bad. If it was that bad, they people on board would be dead.

Plenty of times. Been flying since I was 15. My parents would have let me fly much earlier but I couldn't reach the rudder peddles. I've been flying for fun for going on 16 years now, got forced down 3x's due to engine failure, all turboprop. Never had an engine failure once on a turbine powered aircraft. Never crashed once either, although the 2nd landing was...ehem, rather interesting. I don't think the poor guy who was my passenger ever did recover from that near heart attack he had when I sent that aircraft down.

Trust me, I've been working with aircraft for 16 years. I have yet to find a Cessna that I would feel safe flying in. In fact the people I know who owned Cessnas have since sold them for much better aircraft. Needless to say, every one of them is much happier and would even swear under oath that they'll never go back to Cessna ever again.

 

[Yossarian]

Cessnas are perfectly fine, safe, boring airplanes.

Well.... YAH! We have a few days during the summer that we can get out of our igloos and play baseball (all other sports are banned).

I've never seen those things they keep calling planes... it's all just some weird jiberish to me.

It was the engine that failed so what are you talking about?
