Yet another one :( . It's a Delta branded RJ lying upside down. Obviously Trump's fault.

Anyone have a video of the plane landing then flipping? I'm trying to picture how that works.

No matter how it happened, I'm going to be surprised. I can't imagine any scenario that I could seriously believe. There must be video, right?

I'm going to guess it rocked to one side, ripping off that wing, that impact may have caused it to roll to the other side, tearing off that wing, then the reaction to the second lost wing caused it to roll completely over ... all of this as it continued forward. Given that the fuel is stored in the wings - it was good that they were lost - preventing a major fire.

A sign of the times - Our plane has crashed and is upside down I should take a photo selfie.

Better yet, maybe if I'm lucky there'll be a fire and toxic smoke and I can shoot a video of that before either helping anyone else or getting MY dumbass out of the way and out the escape route. :headbang: :screwy:

The best look at it so far.

Hard landing collapsed right main gear, right wing ripped off when it hit the ground, lift from opposite wing rolled aircraft. The aircraft never flared just prior to touch down. Either an altimeter error or visibility issue with blowing snow over the runway.

I can't even begin to imagine the terror the passengers and crew felt. It's a miracle everyone survived.

Yeah, pretty hard with no flare prior to touchdown.
Maybe the right main not locked even if so indicated? :idk:

This guy stops the video as the snow flies from right wing tip, suggesting it's off the centerline of runway as the right wing tip dips/hits the ground. A passenger describes the moments prior to touchdown as normal but then a sideways shift followed by the slam. Still speculative bit interesting.
