Post by PlanePaully »

The article says that this flight clipped a brick boundary wall and part of the ILS while taking off and then pilots just kept on flying!!

"mesh fencing wrapped around the landing gear" so could the gear even stow properly? :shock: and yet pilots claimed it was flying fine and no system malfunctions... I don't believe them.

Wow! The brick wall was only 5 feet tall and located 1000 feet past the end of the runway. That’s quite the takeoff.
