Hard to believe that only 3 people died when you see that footage.

I bet a flight I was on a couple years ago going into LAX looked kinda like that...we got caught in wake turbulence on final final approach. I had a window seat in front of the wing, and I'm looking out the window as we crossed the numbers, knowing there is no way in hell we're going to land on the runway, and watching the pilots try to keep that right engine and wing from hitting the ground. How they did it was beyond me...we were soooooooo close. :eek

Kudos to the guys in the cockpit, they did an amazing bit of flying and got us powered up and back out over the ocean to regroup. :bowdown

The pilot came on the intercom and apologized and flat out said that there was no way he was going to be able to land the plane safely, so he aborted the landing. I wanted to hug and thank the pilots when I finally deplaned, but they were still in the cockpit with the door closed. I think I was still shaking an hour later.

I came into Reno one time with a strong crosswind, the :plane

was flying sideways 'til we touched the ground then a sudden yank when it straightened up....gnarley stuff.
A couple times on puddle jumpers between LAX and Carlsbad we had rollercoaster rides in strong Santa Ana's....my wife never took her face out between her legs, I wished she had it in my lap instead..LOL

I suppose it would have been inappropriate to ask her to move. :laugh

Flying into Vegas is much the same. It's always funny to see the looks on the faces of those who've never experienced it before. :eek

Flew or rolled off the runway in a little Piper in L.V. Thought we were landing on buildings in S.D. Could almost reach out and touch the ocean in Boston. The worst was by far flying into Reno. The turbulence was so bad I thought the plane was just going to crumble in mid air before we even got there. And the best and smoothest ever was in a old 747 jumbo jet coming into LAX with zero visibility

Flew into Chicago's O'Hare back in '95. Pilot came in a little "hot" due to high cross-winds and da plane was rollin' from side to side so much dat ya could look straight out da window and look at da ground, which didn't look much more than 100' down! Then he hits da brakes and we're all smellin' da back of da seats in front of us! Oh yeah; lottsa fun! :eek

But like they say; "Any landin' ya walk away from is a good landin'."

If I couldn't trust you, I couldn't fly. Seems to me, landing on instruments only has just got to be scary, no matter how many times you've done it before.

I have flown into Hong Kong twice, and that's they way they come into the runway. They even made an announcement.....It IS strange...
