March 7, 2007: Plane barely survives 20,000 feet freefall
xoxoxoBruce finds this set with its story. You see the windshield spidered in the above shot. That happened at 27,000 feet... let's go to the text from the forwarded email: Quote:
When they get out of the plane, this is what they saw... a tail almost completely destroyed. Well that first image of the tail is taken at a strange angle, and you can't really make out how destroyed it is. Here's the left side of it, from another angle. The covers for the bolts that hold the wing on have been blown off. The wing itself has been bent, leaving a severe crease. Even the fuselage has bent slightly. From the front you can see how much of the tail is missing. The landing was shot on videotape by an amateur, and the local news folks did a story on it, first story at this search page. A nice note: the pilots rented a car to get to their eventual destination. Yeah, good idea. |
