onetrack Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 More media BS and headline-grabbing. No "flipping" involved, the aircraft crash landed on the water and lost a float, and all the pax were offloaded onto watercraft with no injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgwilson Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 And according to 9 it was taking off and one of the "INFLATABLE PARTS BURST". Are these reporters stupid or what? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planedriver Posted January 25 Author Share Posted January 25 Every chance that the float was damged by striking floating debris, which i'm always wary of when in my small boat. Occasionally you see something in the water which is capable of damaging a hull. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No; they're not stupid; they interview stupid people who tell them that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tillmanr Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) TheABC is reporting that it was an aborted takeoff and the damage occurred when landing hard. Maybe damage occurred during takeoff? Edited January 25 by tillmanr Added text 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rankamateur Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Also reported that someone from the plane company came out in a boat and got the passengers into life jackets. Good job they landed nearby. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
