    Can a flock of birds really take down a large plane about to land? Apparently, yes.

    Only 2 people survived the crash. It is hard to sink this news, to be honest. I believed that once on the tarmac, the worst part is over. Unfortunately, I stand corrected.

    The time between when the pilot reported a bird strike and when it crashed could be key to unraveling one of the world’s worst aviation disasters in years.

    Birds maybe but....

    The undercarriage didn't extend......

    And Some silly bugger built a wall at the end of the runway.

    The bird strike was a factor but according to the experts something doesn't add up.

    It seems the plane's black box also got damaged, so it may take a while to extract the data. The pilot was no newbie, with over 7000 hours of flight under his belt.

Thank you for the support!
