Wow, talk about unexpected while driving. Seeing videos like this make me never want to fly again and i'm already terrified to fly.

Dang just saw this on the news, this is not a good year for airplanes or passengers. Really sad!

 

[HISSMAN]

Full on stall right there.

I just caught part of this this morning walking out the door, and all I can say is "Holy Shit".

Full on stall right there.

damn...i didnt see it hit the cab in the initial video. Crazy timing to catch that on film.

 

[JD03Cobra]

Wow!

Saw that on the news this morning. Craziness! There's a section of freeway here where the incoming planes pretty much fly along the freeway path for about 3 miles. I'm always looking up at them to make sure they aren't dropping out of the sky while I'm on that section of road.

It's raining airplanes!

Asians cant drive worth a shit, why would anyone think they could fly.

Wonder how it started to roll so quickly? You can see it go over the buildings and its relatively level and then all of a sudden just BAM it rolls instantly.

From the article.
Shortly after takeoff, one of the plane’s pilots sent a frantic message: “Mayday, Mayday, engine flameout.”

Because it was aerodynamically stalled. Especially visible in the the longer-distance view at 0:32, that thing is just mushing through the air with not enough lift, which led to the roll. I can only guess, but given that the plane is rated to take off on only one engine, and given the loose definition of "pilot" in Asia, the guy probably panicked and pulled the stick back to try to get altitude out of it, which is the exact wrong thing to do no matter how instinctive it is.

I wish airlines worked the way cruise ships do. When people were stuck on a ship for days, cruise prices plummeted. Planes crash left and right, fuel prices plummet, and the airlines are still blatantly price-gouging like a mother ****er.
