3BS: Indeed, we still can't believe this photo for the Air Florida flight.
No_Soy_Carlos: Well, it says it is an
Air Florida Flight, but
not which one. This is totally a
REAL totalairdisasterphoto of an
Air Florida flight (Not_90), more
recent, with a
leased aircraft .
...
Concur. It is also a
night shot.
Thank you for the clarification (and noticing that it is a night shot).
Instead of a
specific single crash where a pilot
dutifully ignored his improvisational cowboy feeling that he should abort OR firewall the engines in violation of carefully computed power settings, and instead following the
official, trained, type specific takeoff procedure of monitoring EPR and V1 and V2 (without TOPMS OR a Boeing Bobby speed check) (See footnote)....
The actual photographed crash is
one of several hundred where an Airbus with FBW did things that were totally against all fundamentals, with the CVR containing the words, "What's it doing now"...although perhaps in this case it's 'why is it steering towards this bridge...I've been pulling up the whole time'.
Footnote: Yes, Evan, they did botch the procedures of engine anti-ice, attempted reverse thrust powerback in snow, and wing deicing, and maybe the CRM was a shred off.
