Delta Airlines crash in the US - No casualties

[Moneybox]

Just spotted this on the news flash...

[onetrack]

MB, it's old news now, the CRJ made a terribly hard landing (reasons unknown), a fire started, and then the vertical stabiliser and a wing snapped off - then the aircraft skidded at 90° to the runway, and the remaining wing and aircraft fuselage turned turtle.

About 8 people suffered injuries, 3 are critical, possibly as a result of undoing seatbelts whilst inverted, and falling and landing on their heads on the roof.

That's what happens when you never watch the news. I just came in as the news flash came up in the middle of something Mrs M was watching.

I watched this the day it happened and was surprised that everyone getting off had their back packs and jackets.

where was the leave all you belongings behind and exit the aircraft quickly.

Baby It's COLD outside.  Nev

Maybe the big fire burning the fuselage up might help.

They had fire hoses on it quickly, Canadians don't panic easily. They are cooler than most People. They are even COOL on Trump.  Nev

The big fire burning the fuselage would help me take a lot bigger steps away from the wreckage! I'm amazed the fuselage stayed in one piece, kudos to the CRJ designers.

What surprised me was the dude who was upside down in a burning plane, and still thought to pull out his phone and video the evacuation. Me, I’d be hot-footing to a suitable distance before even thinking “now, where’s my phone…”. 🫣

It's not that easy to move around in an upside down Plane or get out of the doors and windows. .  IF you're waiting because others are in the way you might as well phone people.. It's instinctive.   It wasn't burning inside.  Nev
