Man, I don’t know why but I assumed it flipped forward to land upside down like that truck in The Dark Knight. Could not fathom how people survived. Still hard to imagine how nobody died, but I was picturing it so differently.

Seatbelts people!
Little ding at the end of the video, pilot turns on the fasten seatbelt sign.
Flip? Ehh. Rollover. Barrelroll.
Yeah bro fuckin rolled for a mile and a half fucking hell
Yeah, that's not very typical. l'd like to make that point.
The side fell off.
Well, there are a lot of these jets going around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen. I just don't want people thinking that jets aren't safe.
Yeah but they do seem to be rolling over into unsafe territory a LOT more lately…..
I'm not saying it wasn't safe, it's just perhaps not quite as safe as some of the other ones.
Are you saying that isn't normal?
Well, I was thinking more about the other ones.
What other ones?
Well, some of them are built so that the wing doesn't fall off at all.
Well wasn’t this one built so that the wing wouldn’t fall off ?
Well, obviously not.
How do you know ?
Well, because the wing fell off and 20,000 lbs of jet fuel spilled onto the runway caught fire. It's a bit of a giveaway. I'd just like to make the point that that is not normal.
I'm a layperson, but wasn't it kinda good that the plane seperated from the fuel-filled wings?
From what I remember the wing joint is one of the strongest on an aircraft being that’s where all the lift forces from the wing transfer to the fuselage. I remember watching wing stress tests and it was frightening how much that joint would flex before it failed. Of course it rolling like that is way more force. I also imagine there wasn’t a huge amount of fuel left if it was landing at the end of a normal flight. But yes I’d still say that was a good thing.
That’s why we wear seatbelts in planes i guess
It looks like this is being filmed from another aircraft (big pillar in the middle of the window). Why was this pilot filming, it seems like they'd see planes landing all the time so was there something special about the landing - bad weather perhaps ..
Dude was coming in way too fast and way too high.
I think you're probably right.
Tricky landing in shitty weather. Just filming to share in group chat as in "look at this shitty weather we have to take off in". Something like that.
The way the nose and tail jiggle when it hits the ground looks like a hard landing, but the glide slope isn’t that crazy. I’m betting it was a freak gust that stalled the right wing just after the flare, causing the right gear to collapse.
Having watched a Mentour Pilot video, I am an expert on plane crashes. The problem is that the part that's supposed to be on the top is now on the ground and that part on the bottom is now on top. You have to keep those in the right positions for a safe landing.
Fellow expert speaking: Their problem was that they should have been watching 74 Gear. He ends every single video with, "Until then, keep the blue side up." I'm honestly a little bit excited to see how he addresses it when he starts out the video about the time they forgot to keep the blue side up.
I read this in Norm Macdonald's voice. Thank you for the chuckle
I read it in Kelsey's voice, and then after your comment I re-read it in Norm's voice.
Thanks for that.
New head of the FAA over here!
Chief pilot, Mjr. Poopington
Too qualified.
They'll be let go next week.
Is it me or has it suddenly started raining planes lately?
Just happens that Trump is "saving money" by firing air traffic control employees
Looking at it, fortunately it looks like there was just enough time for anyone without a seatbelt to put it on instinctively, before the plane rolled over.
A spectacular response by YYZ's emergency crew in snowy conditions.
Who's not wearing a seatbelt during landing? That's some natural selection right there.
I'm hoping nobody, anywhere. But I'm saying that even if there were dumbasses there would be still time in this case to save yourself.
poor guy
Until the plane touches ground it looks like a normal landing, crazy. So glad no one died.
All three wheels touched down at the same time. Not supposed to happen like that.
It’s exactly what I hope happens in the US. Everyone survives, but the right wing explodes.
I CAME IN LIKE A WREEEEECKING BAAAAALLLLLLLL!!!!!
