I think I might know where the one body missing went? It wasn't the girl getting hauled away right after the plane crash would it?

I can usually stomach gruesome scenes but man that one really broke my heart.

We tend to get numb to disasters like this that that scene really reminded me that life is precious.

The pilot didn’t keep the plane above the ground causing a crash.

Was probably a mule and that was the dealer getting his product out of there.

Without better video I have some guesses.

1) Too steep of a bank angle for speed causing the left wing to stall. Making the bank worse and resulting in a crash.

2) Lost left engine and instead of smashing the right rudder smashed left - this happened in a King Air ar KADS a couple years ago. Basically doing the opposite of what should be done.

3) Someone turned their phone on and it connected to a 5G network.

Well that was horrifying. I thought it was just going to be standard overhead footage. Not video from the interior of the cabin during the crash. I have to fly all the time for work and I hate it. I have to fly twice this week. This will give me nightmares.

My guess. That's definitely what it looked like.

I’d be shocked if anybody survived that. Looked like he ran out of airspeed and stalled short of runway

Not a pilot but it reminds me of the rudder control issues in a handful of 737's maybe 30 years ago. The pilot would try to pedal the rudder but because of a hydraulic valve malfunction the rudder would just go harder in the wrong direction.

The only solution was to gun the opposite engine and completely take your foot off the pedal, the latter of which is completely unintuitive.

It could happen at any time, but at higher speeds it wouldn't affect as much. Unfortunately at lower speeds like landing it was very quick.

Mine too, it didn't look like the left engine lost power.

That video was bone chilling. Not because I watched and tried to imagine what they went through, but because I lived it. I saw exactly what they saw in almost the same scenario. I survived for better or for worse. Most days I’m not sure
I like to give people the benefit of the doubt so I’ll assume you were hoping that they didn’t experience that for long
