Bird strike or something maybe?I'm no expert but that looks like a catastrophic failure and they were looking for altitude to find a place to ditch safely. Stalled it though. Maybe had an engine blow up and had damage to no.2 engine.
Maybe. I think they knew the plane was going down when they started climbing, probably hoping to crash it back on the runway. Not sure if that area is surrounded by residential. I should stop guessing at what happened though, like I said I'm no expert. Maybe one of our pilots will chime in.Bird strike or something maybe?
Fair enough. @Getn off what are your thoughts?Maybe. I think they knew the plane was going down when they started climbing, probably hoping to crash it back on the runway. Not sure if that area is surrounded by residential. I should stop guessing at what happened though, like I said I'm no expert. Maybe one of our pilots will chime in.
Confirmed. 1 has died. 1 severely injured. The guess so far,engine trouble.
Rubb.Yea, hard to speculate without a clear vid.
Very rough guess, it looked like a possible engine failure, or a flight control problem to me. Arch is correct thinking it traded speed for altitude for sure. But why? As it is spiraling left going down, it sure looks like the right wing was shorter...ie missing parts?
A stall? Not likely, even if he lost all thrust. They are very highly trained and would climb to set a fixed Vx (best rate) to get as much altitude as possible before ejecting or dead sticking it into a safer area.
Very sad to see. I have witnessed a few plane crashes, and have lost a couple close friends. Very rare, but can still be highly dangerous.
I heard to ejected and both perished.
RIP.
