    737 truly is the cybertruck of planes. How it hasn’t been pulled completely is beyond me.

    At least 85 people have been confirmed dead so far, according to the local fire department. Two people, both crew members, were pulled alive from the crash site however rescuers have warned there is little hope of finding further survivors.

      omg its just horrifying.

      its like watching one of the test videos of planes being crashed into a brick wall on purpose.

    At this point 737s should just be banned from flight. How many more people have to die (including whistle-blowers) for us to get Boeing leadership accountable.

    I guess the only hope is another Mangionni like event.

    After 15 and a half years in service, you have to stop blaming the manufacturer.

    Obviously we don’t know yet if there was anything else wrong with the plane apart from the landing gear but aren’t pilots trained to land a plane without landing gear in case the situation arises?

      It seems to have touched down with no significant damage to the fuselage until it hit the embankment. The pilots did manage to bring it down at least somewhat softly and on a runway, they just couldn’t get it stopped on time
