Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

There must have been a wind shear or something as it was landing. Gust of wind comes in and just pushes the plane over on its side as its landing. Astounding that critical injuries only totaled 2.

Based on one of the clips i saw of the crash, it looked like one of the rear landing wheels breaks. This caused the plane to tilt and skew, and probably caught some heavy side wind, which in combination lead to the roll.

As you say, it is incredible that the injuries were not more severe. Read earlier that only one passenger is still hospitalized, and that their condition is not critical.
