Wonder if that pilot who recorded it normally records as he’s holding short or if he saw them coming in hot and thought I better record this guy.


Either way, I can’t imagine the FAA and Canadian equivalent is thrilled that a First Officer was dicking around on his phone while in a taxiing airplane.

ETA: glad he got a good vid for the rest of us though

Didn’t the plane have a flap issue? The pilot holding short probably heard the emergency on the radio and whipped out his phone just in case a crash happened.

Think so

Which means it should have had a higher approach speed and shallower glide path, right? Looks like it was too slow and coming down too hard to me.

Definitely slammed that bitch on the deck. I guess it was too heavy for that.

the last thing on our before start check list is "blank/PEDs," and the response is "set and OFF," we're having a huge problem with lack of PED discipline in sterile cockpit periods, and it's by and large the young punks who can't go a single minute without being on them

I've seen some, umm hmm, interesting things in the cockpit over my time but you have to be smart about it these days, everything leaves an electronic trail

it seemed to me like the ILS was not right - almost like the runway level was not set at the right height.

think Die Hard 2 where they set the ILS to show 200 feet lower than the actual terrain and the plane just piledrove into the ground.

I mean i know it wasn't that - just the best way I could describe it LOL.

i have been on may CRJ's where the plane hits like a fricking pile driver on the runway and I go - damn that is some well built suspension

just watched the video for the first time, the jet definitely had slats out and from what I could tell, flaps too, seemed like they didn't flare(raise the noise as they were touching down to reduce sink rate,) but it didn't look like the touchdown was that violent, curious to see what the investigators find out

not too violent but could a gust have blown them over and that right gear hit in the grass / mud?

hard to tell from that video but it looks like the right main landing gear may have collapsed and the wing may have dug into the plowed snowbank on the runway edge?
