Very Sad.
Scary Video.
CNN Clip up on YouTube with crash 11 seconds into clip:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-OQK...layer_embedded
It is grainy and hard to see. For those unable to check out video:
-Looks like main gear down first.
-Nose gear seems to touch down hard and fast
-Nose gear then appears to bounce upward, with main gear and whole plane going airborne
-Next, nose gear seems to come down again, this time
ahead of the main gear
-Main gear comes back down a second time.
-Nose gear bounces back up a second time.
-At this point plane is already rolling left.
-Second nose gear bounce is so high there is a tail strike
-At the time of tail strike the roll makes it look like the left engine and possibly the entire left wing strikes the ground.
-Plane continues to roll left
-At this point the plane has rolled 90 degrees, right wing is pointing straight up, and massive flames are coming out of the aircraft (my guess is from the fact that the left wing at this point is completely destroyed so any and all fuel left in it ignited.)
All that is only 10 seconds on the clip - and the clip is in slow-mo.
