Corona, cyclones, dams getting busted, planes falling down (military and civilian both) , earthquakes, locust attack. 2020 is having it all.

world economic recession, global pandemic.
At this rate we are going to end 2020 with a nuke dropping somewhere.

There seem to be conflicting reports between a hydraulic failure of the landing gear VS. an engine failure.

hopefully the ATC was equipped with a decent camera system. The crash site is within line of site of the tower

but if capsule is released chances of people being killed from fire will be less

may low altitude it may not have helped anyway.

where is the fucking wisdom in having a residential area less than a kilometer from the runaway ,Ground + 2 and 3 structures , absolute greed and jihalat and corrupt mind set should also be checked

Touba touba
Allah forbid

but if capsule is released chances of people being killed from fire will be less

its not the fire but the rate of impact, that close to the ground and that fast, the capsule may not be able to deploy the parachutes and could have just as easily hit the houses uncontrollably.

Doesn’t matter,
Pilot seems to be the culprit after thorough thinking

that is not how anything in the real world works.

We need to wait for an investigation before we can say anything.
Otherwise, everyone can "thorough thinking" everything and call it a day.

hopefully the ATC was equipped with a decent camera system. The crash site is within line of site of the tower

some people on roof tops claimed they have videos of near landing/crash?

Sources confirm both of them.

Absolutely - Catastrophic multiple system failure.

Pilot did his best. Definitely NO pilot error.

 

[Rusty]

I urge everyone to stop speculating and let the facts come out.
For now all we should be doing is giving prayers to everyone involved.
