Did anyone else see the plane that clipped the taxi and landed in the river?
The look on the faces as they dragged survivors from the wreckage, to survive any plane crash you must be extremely lucky
But quite a few made it, Awesome footage from someones dash cam

Yea they reported it clipped the bridge and went in....
That plane was farked well before it clipped the bridge. Looked like a slow speed stall. Just not enough lift and dropped a wing.
Very lucky no one died though...

I think if you survive any plane crash you're a winner

A lot of S*()(* happens in the pointy end of the plane when an engine fails (which was reported) but it's something that you are tested on frequently. I wish we'd of had a turboprop on one side of the plane when we had a bad piston driven engine go.. Regardless, the cockpit is would have been very busy and the natural instinct is not to point the nose down, but you have to or go in anyway.

Sympathies to all who perished or even had to go through the experience.
