As stated above, the drop is certainly scary, but the subsequent pull up is where the cheap composites are exposed to stress..I like that moment where all passengers realize at the same time that they're in a cheap-composite-crackerbox.

Near Total Turbulence Disaster
While I trust the industry for safe flight, this look a couple of standard deviations unpleasant and this (and the following ‘relentless’ pull up) would trigger a good dose of foffieness and prayer in me.

Re: An interesting theory
To clarify: What I’m getting from DAN is the approach being insidiously bad. The steepening approach path with horrendously bad timing causes the pilot to be ever so slightly behind… WITH VERY CRAPPY TIMING Descending fat, dumb, happy and competently. Ok, I’m high, I need to correct…look away briefl...

DAN Juan is batshit crazy…
BUT
Is he basically correct that the gal did almost nothing wrong hitting a lightless tower that basically was in a reasonable, instrument-enhanced glide path?

Re: We just made deplaning more efficient
The ironing here is pretty damn thick: While Evan would like volunteer-staffed inflatable rescue rafts, do you think we might put a decent fire extinguisher by the plane and train rampies how to use it? Edit: I'm sure there were probably a few good fire extinguishers available...but the video isn't ...

By the way, in an emergency, it’s 0 PSI to the brakes ;) No wonder trainies don't brake ... Because I do not_trust Gabriel, The Piss-Poor Trainbrakeengineer, to actually chime in with edifying comments, I wanted to remind everyone that 0 PSI in the brake pipe sends roughly 90 (maybe slightly less) ...
