We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

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.

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

I'm amazed it didn't break apart even inverted. That's lucky.

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