Suicidal flight crew, passenger intervention, structural failure.
This thread has everything!

(popcorn)

But did the crew raise the flaps in the flare?

huh... Israel's Bibi praising the pilot.

What's the cultural reference here?

This is actually exactly what happened. But replace simmer with tv watcher.

“Yaniv, who neutralized the terrorist pilot, told Netanyahu: “I pulled the yoke up and stopped the plane’s dive. It’s lucky I had some aviation experience from @MaydayAirCrash series”

Absolutely insane. So many ways this could’ve ended in disaster.

Zero crew is safer than one crew.

Indeed. Then you only have to worry about some misanthrope on the ground with no skin in the game directing the vehicle into Thomas Jefferson's nostril on Rushmore or something.

If Bibi was in prison where he belongs, I don't believe this thread would even exist. As someone above mentioned, we should all stay patient until we hear from Captain Steve. I'm pretty confident he will shed some light on how that rudder snapped off of the tail.

21 Air crash in MIA the other day. Crew manipulated the flaps at 500ft.

I can’t help but think this was some sort of inside job by Bibi.

Uhh. Not even close to being correct.

 

[Sculprit]

Uhh. Not even close to being correct.

¯\_( ˘͡ ˘̯)_/¯ ok.

 

[Pilot Fighter]

Uhh. Not even close to being correct.

At 41 seconds before impact, flaps were set to 30.

lol. I’m talking about the context of RAISING FLAPS IN THE FLARE and its relevance and history to this forum.

I’d say it did end in disaster…

That was a running theme during discussions here over a decade ago.

Hate to to say it, but the only reason this plane isn’t a smoking hole is because of a crew in the back and the cap managed to open the door.

This is or can be a zero pilot argument before a two.

That and, per ABC News, a passenger that entered the cockpit pulled the plane out of the dive, saying he saw it on TV.

This is absolutely wild.

The pilot that tried to crash the plane is alive. The interrogation by the Saudis will be interesting. I hope the injured pilot pulls through.
