One thing I do find funny with Mr. Taking Off's sabotage theory is... why? It wants to blame the Russians, but all they seem to be doing is putting (/ trying to put) small incendiary devices on cargo planes. I of course don't support that kind of thing, but I'm fairly sure they're not going to cause...

First two collisions on the ramp in the same day, now this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XzzZKqWdQs One thing I got a kick out of... engineers talk sometimes about "stacked tolerances"... here we have "stacked negatives": ATC: "...you have no problem landing and vacating...

Can we get one for Boeing that says "Err in space museum"?

If the wonky-ILS and bomb theories don't float your boat (or fly your plane?), here's another theory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXMdkYFhld8

I dunno, that looks pretty real to me. And I should know, I've got one of them in my basement... a space full of air.

Agree 1000%! Though I will qualify that with two things (that are sorta the same thing): flying what, maybe 5K feet above mountaintops as shown in that video, gives a way better view than flying 25K+ feet above the mountaintops. And likewise, flying at cruise altitude (Boeing/Airbus cruise altitude,...

Sooo... the pilots had the fish?

And if I understand correctly, two crew members also survived? That's a good thing not just because it's a good thing, but it enables us to get their version of what happened.

Wow were they really 50 knots fast at that point? That much overspeed that late in the approach is impressive... and not in a good way.

What? 3 degrees is 3 degrees, whether you're going 80 or 250 knots.

Which makes much sense if one of the scenarios suggested by the NOTAM is the case, namely that the ILS was functioning but unreliable. So they could have had the most stabilized approach ever, but realized at the last minute that said approach was leading them to a location that was not_a runway. Th...
