Wow what a week for Asian airlines. The Korean flight almost looked like it wanted to take off again after realizing it was on an off path.

Reading the aviation herald on this. Of course pre investigation u can’t really know for sure but working hypothesis is a bird strike caused an engine shut down, and pilots wanted to do a go around and retracted the landing gear ( an eyewitness saw the plane approaching with gear down) but then the other engine flamed, no hydraulics and they couldn’t get the gear down again and tried a belly landing.

Two people survived.
That was really bad. The video looks like the plane drove into some kind of mound.

Apparently the two survivors were both flight attendants.
I assume they were in the back.

Heard a guy talking today. He said that there are three levers in the cockpit that allow the landing gear to drop without hydraulic pressure.

Was it in 12 O'clock High where the guy was cranking the gear down by hand forever and finally got it down about 2 seconds before they landed?

Wasn't there a similar scene in "Memphis Belle"?

Thanks for bringing this thread back up while Lucas is currently over the Atlantic…
