What a dumbass. No air traffic controllers were laid off/fired as directed by Trump. Talking about dumb admin positions.
The elbow is not pointy enough to be a woman which is the definition of a soft landing. I'd sleep like a baby.
@Judobill Looks like they never pulled the nose up (I think it's called the "flare", yes?) just before landing, so they hit hard.
Saw a comment somewhere it looks like a navy pilot trying to land on a carrier, flare was mentioned as well
Altimeter set incorrectly maybe?
Any thoughts from an actual pilot after seeing that?
It hit super hard. Will be interesting to see what the flight recorder data has to say. We will eventually get the data, but it doesn’t look good for the pilots.

Would the snow cause a visual issue as far as level? Runway looked clear.
Am I correct in thinking that modern passenger aircraft have a system to warn pilots that they are descending too fast near the ground? Or does this only give warnings if the plane isn't configured for landing?
I’m sure the airplane was yelling “SINK RATE, SINK RATE!” Like I said though, we really won’t know what happened until the CVR/FDRs come out. All will be revealed then.
Who knows.. I think they intentionally land hard on wet runway?! Do they on a snowy runway too?
Appreciate the information, thanks.
There’s a difference between a firm landing and destroying an airplane.
