• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Manx2 Metroliner crashes at EICK

from the looks of the fire damage, i'd say they were pretty low on fuel...which is fortunate for the six survivors

Aircraft was on a scheduled flight from Belfast to Cork. There was very dense fog at EICK this morning which resulted in the aircraft flying 2 missed approaches. Apparently, during the 3rd approach the aircraft came in too fast, bounced and rolled on it's back. Amazing that anyone survived.
 
The pilot tried the second approach from the opposite direction, and aborted the landing.
On his third approach he tried the planned landing again...
Would the second failed landing not have been enough to divert the plane?
 
RIP for those killed. It's a real shame that the typical trolls have to post their ignorant comments in those linked articles though... :ipepsi2:
