http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/07/06...ional-airport/ Does not appear to be too many details yet. Best wishes for the passengers, crew, and people on the ground.

As strange as it may sound, if you're going to have an unintended interaction with terrain anywhere, the best place to do it is at an airport, the emergency services are top notch and drilled regularly. Here's hoping for no casualties and a swift resolution to the situation.

There are reports of "Evacuation slides could be seen extending from one side of the aircraft". That might be a good sign that at least some were able to get out.

From what I can see, it looks like he was too low and slow, he dragged the tail and it broke the arse end off. May all be safe.

This report says 291 people accounted for according to a radio scanner who posted on Twitter what they heard on firefighter radio.
http://m.smh.com.au/travel/travel-in...707-2pjm8.html Hope everyone is safe and uninjured. |

Quote:
Everything here is after the inital hit, which supports the tailstrike hypothesis. AAR214 only comes on after reaching the ground. Normally after being cleared to land there's no radio contact until rollout. Sounds like the controller spotted the impact and was quick to reassure the pilot that EMS were on the way. In most of these events 90% of radio comms is getting other traffic out of the way, creating space and time for the flight crew to do whatever they have to do, and clear the runway/taxiways for emergency vehicles. THat's why you don't hear much from 214.
