NetJets crash in Laredo TX

Looks like the multiple reports of fire from those on the ground wasn't made up.

"Videos from several security cameras and doorbell cameras were obtained, which showed two instances of fire flaring up around the airplane as it was on final approach."

They probably do, but given the fact that they were going back and forth with dispatch/mx, it probably was pushed aside. Once they started getting all of the cascading failures, it was probably too late. Given the • sandwich they had to eat, they did an amazing job getting it down somewhere relatively safe in the middle of nowhere.

From reading the report it looked to me like the fuel leak and low fuel condition developed so fast logging fuel wouldn’t have really helped. We only log fuel every hour-ish.

Also, I’m surprised when the start-gen started coming apart that it didn’t just shear the driveshaft, that’s usually what they’re designed to do to prevent exactly this kind of thing.
