How do you crash after touching down?

plane spotter describes a blast, a "cartwheel" (others said 'flipped') that sounds like "only" 90 degrees, lost wing(s) on impact. Wow.

Was he a former Score caller?

The host on CNN just said it appears the plane landed where the water ends and that is not where the plane is supposed to land. This expertise is what I need.

:lol: It is a real commitment to tweet when you tweet right after a crash landing. I think that would be the last thing on my mind at that moment.

Typical CNN coverage. During the hurricane, it was "There are some strong winds out here!" while the reporter stood in the ocean. Thanks CNN! And thanks Obama!

The CNN weather guy just let us know that it is pretty easy for a pilot to land at San Francisco airport but it would be much more difficult for someone like us...as passengers.

I have always had that sneaking suspicion. I'm glad he cleared it up for me.
