We caught the plane crash on our webcam

Shouldn't this be turned over to the NTSB/FAA?


It isn't much, but it may help the investigation.

On some days, the entire Superstition range appears to be floating - and the overall topography shifts and morphs in appearance all the time.

Instrument failure.

You're a dumbass

That's 2 UFOs traveling to the right, one above the other, one does something weird and emits this strong spherical energy/light and changes shapes into another object, which then, sits there in the sky and multiplies into 2 objects while the other one keeps on flying to the right.

You cannot possibly be dumb enough to think a plane crash would light up your entire camera miles away from where it is with a blinding white light that no fire would ever cause, then somehow suspend itself in the air and never land.

Dumb. Dumb. Dumb.

woah dude, ABC news took you vid!

nope, my mistake its only a barrage of comercials.
I thought they stole your vid.

Why is that person crashing into the mountaing?

Why?

CFIT. It happens. [link to en.wikipedia.org]

Deepest condolences to family and friends of those affected.

The pilot was flying IFR, (instrument flying rules)night flying, that mountain/terrain has most probably got an NDB (Navigational Direction Beacon) on it.

These beacons allow a pilot to track on its radio signal which gives directional (left/right) information but NOT altitude.

Unfortunately the pilot must have not have had sufficient height to clear the terain, for whatever reason and there can be a multitude of them.

Machines (altimeters)do/can develop faults!

That is why there are specialist investigative organizations who can search for the causes of these unfortunate incidents.

To the person who called the pilot an idiot, you need a bloody good foot up your arse, for that totally missinformed, insensitive and innapropriate comment.

Hope youve got the balls to apolagise right here and now for that.

Otherwise Ill make the call...you are a PIG.

Didn't drop, just hit top of mountain.

and this..

Why is that person crashing into the mountaing?

Why?


this...

I am sure the FAA will chalk it up to pilot error, per usual.


and finally this...

Perhaps turbulence had a bit of effect on it too.


can you people NOT read, or comprehend simple practical facts, or do you have a need to demonstrate your stupidity so publically..


just remember this..people died in that accident and one thing is absolutely certain...

no one..no one will know the cause of that accident until it is very carefully investigated.

In the mean time I suggest some silence out of respect for those who are immediately affected with tragic losses.

Why two planes flying at the same speed?

Trying to turn this thread into a bunch of shit-throwing comments much? Wouldn't be trying to derail focussing on the details of this event, would we?

They could have been at different distances getting into the final approach pattern as a large airport can bring planes in for landing as quickly as 7 or 8 minutes apart on a usual day.

Is it your summation that one plane may have been the cause of the other crashing?

looks like a first order explosion. The impact must have been violent enough to produce an aerosol cloud of fuel that ignited from the primary explosion.

Jet fuel will do this.

Didn't drop, just hit top of mountain.
