Landing gear collapsed, causing the wing to touch the ground.

Lots of these seem to be caused by fucky landing gear. No concrete block at the end of the runway though! Big brain shit.

Seen some analysis by experts that the nose of the plane was too far down, and that’s what caused it to slam into the runway. May have been overcompensating for wind, but it doesn’t seem like it was anything faulty with the aircraft.

We should withhold judgment until we know the sex of the pilot.

A bird flew against my kid's bedroom window this morning... So, guess not.

My wife flew today. Much to Dev's chagrin she landed safe and sound.

Dev, please tell Joe that you don't wish death upon his wife so he can move onto his next weird fixation.

Thank you.
