South Korea airliner crash

Crashes happen in all transportation vehicles. I've seen MUCH worse on American soil.

I almost wonder if there were throttle issues. You'd think that much friction would slow the plane considerably but at the speed they plowed into the berm you have to wonder

Didn't appear flaps were extended nor were the reverse thrusters deployed. The reverse thrusters may have jammed by the touchdown.

Reports were of a bird strike which would have limited engine power but it seems like there was plenty of power to the engines. Maybe they thought the reverse thrusters were deployed and were giving it full power as a result.

Several questions and/or inconsistencies. Stressful and fast paced situation. Anything could have happened.
 
It appears to be a belly landing...

Thanks Sherlock. I hadn't noticed.

Belly landing at what appears to be at considerable power. Name another reason for power if they didn't think the reverse thrusters were deployed.

No foam on the runway... Was there a fuel dump? How much distress was the plane and the crew in?

A belly landing would likely prevent them from using reverse thrusters and/or flaps.

None of what they're saying makes sense. How does a bird strike disable the landing gear function? Why didn't they foam the runway or have a fire team at the ready? As you already noted, they didn't appear to be slowing? Just a weird, weird situation.
 
Power can come from thrust.

I'll answer for you the question you can't.

If the crew didn't know the wheels were up they could have applied power to take off and try it again. But gravity and physics got in the way...
 
Again...I thought you don't believe in God?
A small g refers to any and all gods. Hundreds of them in human history. I don't want to offend anyone by picking one out.

In the future, to avoid your girly sensitivities, I will use Yarilodamn, in reference to the Slavic god of vegetation. Then again, this may offend Arch.

So by default you've included the God of the Bible in this??? Overthinking again and nice move - I think that's an unintended consequence...

It is. I think there was some initial panic both in the control tower and in the cockpit which likely resulted in some overreaction.

I think they may have used up much of the runway thinking the gear was down but they never touched down. When they realized they were running out of runway I think they tried to put their spurs in it but didn't have enough speed or momentum to pull up and the plane lost what little remaining altitude it had.

Or they thought they had touched down and were frantically trying to get the reverse thrusters to help slow the aircraft down.

A bird strike In engine compounded with a landing gear failure as well as no modern arrest systems at the end of the runway (the thin concrete that collapses when a heavy plane gets on it which adds additional drag. Looks like a lot of combined things happened all at once.
