Having watched a Mentour Pilot video, I am an expert on plane crashes. The problem is that the part that's supposed to be on the top is now on the ground and that part on the bottom is now on top. You have to keep those in the right positions for a safe landing.
New head of the FAA over here!
Too qualified.
They'll be let go next week.
Chief pilot, Mjr. Poopington
Fellow expert speaking: Their problem was that they should have been watching 74 Gear. He ends every single video with, "Until then, keep the blue side up." I'm honestly a little bit excited to see how he addresses it when he starts out the video about the time they forgot to keep the blue side up.

As the #OfficialNumberOneFan of the Mentour Pilot channel, I too, am an expert in aircraft incidents and accidents. 😆
I read this in Norm Macdonald's voice. Thank you for the chuckle
That's why You don't unbuckle the seatbelt until the pilot says so.
Ugh. Yes, this. So many people unbuckle right after touchdown and struggle to keep balance when standing during taxi
Lol, there was one case of a passenger who ignored instructions to put on seatbelt, and ended up being the sole survivor because he got thrown out of the plane right before it exploded.
Like... imagine surviving because you ignored safety instructions 🤣
Until the plane touches ground it looks like a normal landing, crazy. So glad no one died.
It’s exactly what I hope happens in the US. Everyone survives, but the right wing explodes.
...be the change...
Good thing this showed up in my feed as I'm waiting to board a plane. Wish me luck!
You alive bro?
Made it. Landing was a little dicey due to high winds, but nothing scary
Is it me or has it suddenly started raining planes lately?
Just happens that Trump is "saving money" by firing air traffic control employees
8 aircraft crashed in the last 2 weeks.
Just never the right ones.
"Oh f*k oh f**k oh nononono - Tower are you seeing this airplane crash?- oh god oh no"
Pilots really have no nonsense for proper radio communication. Airforceproud95 lied to me.
You can't park there.
After what happened in Korea it seems incredibly lucky that everyone survived. Thank god there was no concrete wall this time.
The way the nose and tail jiggle when it hits the ground looks like a hard landing, but the glide slope isn’t that crazy. I’m betting it was a freak gust that stalled the right wing just after the flare, causing the right gear to collapse.
knowing how much planes weigh... and I have only been in a plane a few times, but does that not look like it slams down way too hard? feels like coming down that fast could break the landing gear.
Yeah, they usually don’t jiggle like that. However, the plane was very stable prior to that and on what looks like a normal glide slope.
One thing I just learned is that there was a pretty stiff crosswind, so they had to yaw to the left to straighten out. This normally means the right wing gets a bit more lift so you compensate with right stick to keep it level.
A wind gust at the right time would have caused the wing to not gain lift and the aileron correction could have sent the wing into the ground.
Why the fuck were they filming?
You're right, this does seem suspicious. It was probably all staged by that guy.
People like to hang out at airport viewing areas to watch planes land, and some film them. It’s fun. I’ve done it a few of times, though admittedly I didn’t film them.
Edit: Though actually this is filmed from another aircraft, it seems. Maybe filming because of how bad the conditions were? Not sure.
Flip? Ehh. Rollover. Barrelroll.
Yeah bro fuckin rolled for a mile and a half fucking hell
I'm a layperson, but wasn't it kinda good that the plane seperated from the fuel-filled wings?
Adult planes don't normally shed their wings until the end of their life, or in rare cases as part of SALT negotiations
I thought that they moulted in the springtime.
From what I remember the wing joint is one of the strongest on an aircraft being that’s where all the lift forces from the wing transfer to the fuselage. I remember watching wing stress tests and it was frightening how much that joint would flex before it failed. Of course it rolling like that is way more force. I also imagine there wasn’t a huge amount of fuel left if it was landing at the end of a normal flight. But yes I’d still say that was a good thing.
137! bang 137! bang 137! bang 137! bang
(I forget what the actual number was)
A YouTuber and pilot “Mentour now” talked about the crash and yeah, it was very lucky the wings separated from the plane. Leaving all the fuel and fire behind.
Looking at it, fortunately it looks like there was just enough time for anyone without a seatbelt to put it on instinctively, before the plane rolled over.
A spectacular response by YYZ's emergency crew in snowy conditions.
Who's not wearing a seatbelt during landing? That's some natural selection right there.
I'm hoping nobody, anywhere. But I'm saying that even if there were dumbasses there would be still time in this case to save yourself.
Low vis, Sunny blue sky? Please explain.
My bad I had the timeline of events messed up. Edited.
I think I see the problem...
SINK RATE SINK RATE SINK RATE SINK RATE
Sector whiteout leading the pilots to forget to flare? Unlikely but maybe?
Other theories:
- ILS system interference due to other aircraft causing ILS to report slightly higher height than reality
- Wind shear
Man, I don’t know why but I assumed it flipped forward to land upside down like that truck in The Dark Knight. Could not fathom how people survived. Still hard to imagine how nobody died, but I was picturing it so differently.
Seatbelts people!
poor guy
I CAME IN LIKE A WREEEEECKING BAAAAALLLLLLLL!!!!!
That’s why we wear seatbelts in planes i guess
