the plane,France's ATR72-600, left engine was failured before crashed.
Asians have been having a problem keeping planes in the air as of late.
Asia and India are notorious for putting very inexperienced pilots in big aircraft. Not to mention the training departments there are old school and haven't kept up with the times. Over there the captain has absolute authority and the first officers are not encouraged to speak up or question the captain. In the rest of the world each pilot is told to monitor the other one and call out anything unsafe or non standard. Lots of people on the aviation boards are commenting that from first look this accident looks very preventable. All that was needed was full rudder on the operating side engine to prevent the aircrafts roll. I guess in the coming weeks we'll find out if there were other factors or malfunctins
Damn, what the hell is going on lately with these Asian Airlines?.......it looks like this plane lost Lift on approach
the other planes were asking 'do you even lift?"
Here is a very similiar crash. Caused by vmc roll. Pilot would hav survived with enough rudder pressure.
How convenient the driver had a dashcam. Not one week goes by without some dashcam footage showing up on the news. Is Doom the only one not using a dashcam? What motivates so many people to set up a car camera? Is a dashcam going to become standard equipment on new cars? Bah!
They are very popular in many countries and I imagine they will become increasingly popular in the U.S.
Why were they rescuing luggage?
Aviation Experts are saying that these type of Turbo Prop Planes are hard to recover from a stall if the pilot waited to late to take action.....the Colgan air crash in Buffalo 6yrs ago was a similar plane as this one......it stalled on approach and flipped
Get on that bridge M-Center. Good opportunity for a televised front double bi followed but a quarter turn side tri. Just saying. Arnold's dad died, he kept training. He was dead, what's the point.
Wow! Looks like it just missed those buildings. I bet the pilots did everything they could to keep it from hitting them...
Pilot had zero change of recovering from a stall at that altitude. A multi-engine turboprop would need minimum of 3000 feet altitude for stall recovery. Even a single-engine plane couldn't have recovered from that low altitude.
