Landing Incident @ SFO

I think you and I are on the same page.

I think you and I would take "not engine or structural for 1000, Alex."

I'm waiting for them to bring the Kim Jong Un angle into this.....

How bad is it that this was the first thing my wife, a non-pilot, texted me? If she can recognize that if the aircraft is still intact, it didn't cartwheel, then CNN must be aiming for a pretty low standard.

If you can cartwheel and still stop before the 1000' marker, I am impressed. I'll do a lot to make the first turnoff.

I'm fairly certain I was the last departure before they closed the airport. One of our pax saw it happen. We switched to departure right before everything happened so we didn't know until the FA dinged us. Crazy. I hope everyone survives.

See something happening here. Think that's a United jet in the background?

I feel like im a hostage to the media right now. This is torture.

The tower recording was posted a page or two ago. You'd hear yourself. The controller did a fantastic job.

OMG, Dish sent a letter in the mail today telling me I'm paying too much for cable. But wait, I pay nothing.

Yep. My voice is on that recording.

Yehhhh I didn't hear a "SEEEEEEYAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH". FAIL!

I'll take not wind shear at 100-1.

Not applicable to this situation, but I've seen 1/2Mi, and 100 OVC with 40kts in Kodiak... it was so weird and I still don't understand what precipitated that sort of weather.

Indeed yes. I could barely keep up listening. There's a reason I always pick up the tab when I bump into controllers.

It's called Kodiak. Physics don't apply.

Seriously - I've never seen anything like it. I couldn't see my hand in front of my face, but it was blowing a gale...really weird.

Funny thing is that I was running late. If I had got on our airplane 1 minute later, we'd never have left. So close... So close...

Or you could have been holding short and watching it in front of you.
