Update; aircraft landed nose first, pilots remained in control of the aircraft - but it was substantially damaged. Reportedly passengers help fire and airport crews push the aircraft
off the runway!!

Apparently landing on the nosewheel first is a bad thing.

"The ability to ditch an airplane in the Hudson does not qualify a pilot for a pay raise. The ability to get the pilots, with this ability, to work for 30% or 40% pay cuts qualifies those in management for millions in bonuses."

"aircraft landed nose first, pilots remained in control of the aircraft "
I see they have a very different understanding of the term "remained in control" than I do!

Landing on the nose wheel would be within my definition of "out of control"

To do that much damage I don't think they were in control at all!ogc wrote:No kidding...ZBBYLW wrote:"aircraft landed nose first, pilots remained in control of the aircraft "

Quick check the crew to see if they faked their ATPL's

Ya never know. It could have been -60C with a 300kt headwind. This would make them have to get lots of power on and lower the nose to maintain proper approach and landing airspeeds.
Or not.
In any case, OOPS!
