Guess it's airplane crash time again...

2 Days ago a 737 slid off the runway into St Johns river here in FL up in Jacksonville.. Everyone lived but the plane was completely in the water..

Now today a airliner has crashed in Moscow..

It's not surprising that another Russin made plane crashed in Russia. They are the worst engineers on the planet.

To be fair, they have very good engineers. but much like many petrochemical co's in the US, it's all about the maintenance.
Auto's here were fairly well engineered in the 80's, but the bean counters beat the engineers.
Something that changed in the 90's with increased competition.

Always more to consider.

The 737max8 was not poorly engineered but some bean counter had override of some engineers. The engineer will always make work with what they are given limits to make work, even if they do not agree with marketing or budget/finance. They do as they are told, it's their job.

just trying to underline a perspective in support of engineers everywhere.

Wondering if they were attempting to jettison fuel before attempting to land and fuel ignited as they touched down. With the nose so high in the air looks as though the landing gear may not have deployed - maybe a belly landing.

Death count up to 40 atm.

Sad.

Excellent point

Dying in a plane is no way to go

Russia sucks man

I would not make to many guesses about the cause just yet.
It could be something stupid like a lithium battery fire that started in in a cargo bay. They do not have many of the rules most of us have on such things.
But you have to feel bad for the loss of life in any case.

Hard to watch even though it's a movie!

The first passengers getting off the Ruski flight all had hand luggage, makes you wonder how many died so they could get their bags down, and the training of the flight crews.

Overhead compartments need a lock controlled in the cockpit to prevent this.

I thought the Russian one burnt on the runway waiting to take off.

Edit n/m it was moving.. maybe it was landing or taking off? Was video on YouTube with flames burning on the engine wing as it was moving.

Did it crash or catch fire? I saw an article where a plane in Russia caught fire but landed safely.... Which would be scary as all fuck.
