re: Pan Am flight 759 simulation...

I don’t know anything about that Pam Am 759 crash at all, but the simulation doesn’t look like a hard hit into the ground so did they hit a lot of structure that caused fire? Would it have been survivable if say they went down like that over water or a field? Or is the simulation just not all right?

They flew into a subdivision so they hit trees and houses.

That was what I was suggesting, is it was a bad crash because of what they hit (homes) and not as much because of the crash right?

That and the fact that it would have been loaded down with fuel since it crashed at take-off. So lots of fire as well.

Taca airlines was a good one too.
Landed the plane on a levee in New Orleans east. Boeing comes out. Strip the plane and flies out off the levee. It later became a southwest airlines plane.

Supposedly it was banking left and actually cartwheeled so a bad crash was inevitable I would think. You may be able to place some of that blame on the trees it hit prior but not the houses.

Pan Am 759 crashed into a Kenner neighborhood, killing all 146 people on board and eight people on the ground. The only survivor on the ground was 16-month-old Missy Trahan-Ferrara, the “miracle baby.”

I was about 5 or 6 miles away from the crash site that day, coaching a summer swim team. We all heard a bunch of sirens, then the news came on the radio....

Did it hit a lot of structures?
It wiped out an entire neighborhood. Luckily at that time residents of Kenner(bruh) worked. Thank god it happened when it did or people would have been home and it would have been a lot more tragic.
