DWCAce Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 AA331 Runway excursion I love how the media has to call everything a 'miracle', not to detract from the crew's hard work and luck. Well, nothing like starting and ending the year with 'miracles'. Quote
+Dave Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 I also how some media outlets had said...."Well landing in thunderstorm is something these pilots are used to so this shouldnt of been a problem." Really? Ever hear of microbursts, wind shear? There is very little any pilot can do in those cases and isn't thunderstorms like one of the main reasons planes crash? I swear the media is out to convict any pilot these days because of a few bad apples. Quote
DWCAce Posted December 24, 2009 Author Posted December 24, 2009 Amen. Now, on the other hand, the crew might of been attempting a landing when they shouldn't have (ala the SWA @ MDW debacle), but we'll let the NTSB decide on that. Quote
