    Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing, even if you are inverted.

    Or maybe I should go with

    “Lieutenant how could you see the pavement if you were on the pavement?”

    “We were inverted.”

    “What were you doing there?”

    “Communicating. Keeping up foreign relations.”

    And yes that’s a Top Gun reference.

    All jokes aside. I am glad everyone’s alive. Even if they were shaken and stirred. I should go.

    There must have been a wind shear or something as it was landing. Gust of wind comes in and just pushes the plane over on its side as its landing. Astounding that critical injuries only totaled 2.

      Based on one of the clips i saw of the crash, it looked like one of the rear landing wheels breaks. This caused the plane to tilt and skew, and probably caught some heavy side wind, which in combination lead to the roll.

      As you say, it is incredible that the injuries were not more severe. Read earlier that only one passenger is still hospitalized, and that their condition is not critical.

    Clearly this was DEI, the only solution is to disband the FAA.

      Nah it was a CRJ. Actually kinda impressive that they somehow flipped the plane upside done and there were no fatalities.
