Delta crash lands in Canuckistan
- Thread starter seminole97

I think I see the problem here. Seems the pilot accidentally landed with the wrong side of the plane..
Judging from that wind sock, I'm gonna guess the wind had something to do with this.

Won’t catch me ever flying on an RJ. **** that nonsense.

Also before this inevitably gets partisan (as someone who wants trump to succumb to his Big Mac addiction) this has nothing to do with trump.
Not sure what yet but arm chairing with zero info so far I’m assuming an inexperienced cockpit crew took a high speed runway exit too fast in slippery conditions, hit the snow pack, snapped the gear and rolled over. This is probably going to be inexperience for a major airlines contract carrier. Once again, it was a matter of time.

Gay North Dakota is having quite the month.
Spirit would delay the next leg of the flight for ten hours before cancelling it.
Anything but an RJ. No order, but I do prefer an Airbus. It won’t let the pilot kill you.
Do you know what a high speed exit on landing is? Do you think they magically rolled over and touched down inverted?
I can’t imagine an airline crew struggling with crosswinds like that. Much worse and daily occurrence in the winter months.
Could be worse. United would cancel all round trip tickets without a refund, claiming they didn’t complete the first leg of their trip.
You're the type of guy who has a swing thought the pros should hear, aren't ya?
It was windy, but nothing crazy or out of the ordinary. It wasn’t even that much of a crosswind for the landing runway. I’m at a loss other than they lost control on rollout at some point (somehow) and dug a main gear into the snow off the runway, it caught and ripped off, tipped and rolled the plane snapping a wing. Fast enough to snap roll over but slow enough to keep the fuselage intact and not cause crazy injuries. Like I said before could’ve been trying to exit at a high speed taxiway (it’s the angled ones off, not 90 degree turns) or they slammed it on hard and momentarily lost directional control with conditions. Idk. This is an odd one.
Is an RJ like a HJ or a BJ?
Killed it with this joke
True but that was all the pilots trying to kill you, not 1 😂
Friend of a friend was on the flight. Just got into the airport about an hour ago. He said it was Super hard landing. Felt like the plane lost lift when we were 30’ above the runway. Bounced and rolled a couple times. People in the back of the plane got soaked in jet fuel.

Trump has a lot to answer for, but unless I’m mistaken we haven’t acquired…checks notes
…Canada…
…checks notes again…
yet.
Dumb to blame him for this one.
I thought OP’s Mom was the only one lying on her back today with 80 people inside her…
You don't have to know. All you have to say is the pilot "executed a perfect roof landing".
Not sure if I was covered in jet fuel right after the plane stopped sliding I would be relieved yet. Now out of my seat and clear of a spark would be different. Death by teacup over burned alive any day.
Flew into Houston one time and apparently crosswinds are a regular issue down there. We were about to touch down and the pilot aborted and we went back up. I about shite my pants.
Dude, I know I shouldn't laugh, but this is damn funny. Thanks!
My wife (no pic) flew into Toronto two weeks ago. I was just telling her about this and the look on her face was priceless.
Nope. But I am someone who flies frequently and prefers to think of my pilots as calm, cool, rational, well balanced individuals.
