Damage from the Plane that crashed in Brazil today

Generally buildings don’t burst in flames/ explode and collapse when a plane hits

Highlightthot1001@reddit

When the plane is small, yes

Passenger airliner? Typically no.

Delta 587 took out several houses when it crashed and exploded

[-]

Passenger airliners that were specifically chosen because they were trans-continental flights that would be full of fuel, and were intentionally hijacked early in the flights? Very different story. Al Qaeda paid attention to the testimony about why the WTC bombing failed a decade earlier, and tailored the attack to inflict maximum damage on those buildings at their weakest points. The collision points were chosen to be, as much as they could, at or above the point that the asbestos coatings had no longer been installed on the structural beams due to construction worker health concerns.

Are you certain they literally planned on the buildings to collapse?

I mean, going directly after a certain level?

It seems more likely they got lucky.... hitting them wasn't the problem..... collapsing them by choosing a certain point ... not so much.

They did their homework. They’d tried to bring the towers down with bombs in the basement parking garages in the early 90s, but it wasn’t effective. They were aiming for maximum damage with the second attempt.

Thanks. Corrected

Some of the new build homes in Arizona will do that on their own, no aircraft needed!

The F1 Hotel of the Concorde crash tends to disagree

SkyHighExpress@reddit

Showing your age there… I completely forgot about the hotel that it hit

[-]

WelpImTrapped@reddit

I wasn't even born yet 😅

But yeah I am French, so I guess I have been exposed to more pictures of it

this is just a lil propeller plane

I’m curious why the fuselage split in those even segments. I don’t think it’s related, just wondering if it’s the panel seams or an engine detached post crash and sliced it.

I read yesterday there were 2 survivors..... how the fuck???

[-]

fullsets_@reddit

A media outlet posted a video on twitter showing one of the passengers, he was INSIDE the building, on the other side of that hole, with very severe injuries.

Huge plane fills up barely legal building.

[-]

classyhornythrowaway@reddit

why is everyone piling on the news site in the comments? it's a serious accident, there's a video, what did they expect when they clicked on it?

[-]

fullsets_@reddit

Not on the news site. On the woman who's recording because she was very out of touch saying things like "be glad you're alive because that other guy is dead"

[-]

mr_sugarwolf@reddit

Some people fail to think about what they are going to before speaking. No thought of the person(s) involved/affected or their family.

[-]

classyhornythrowaway@reddit

oh shit I watched with the sound off and I don't know Portuguese anyway. makes sense now (but also some people become very matter of fact in face of shock)

[-]

Ataneruo@reddit

Damn, he has a complete closed fracture of his lower leg, you can see it bending with the slightest pressure

[-]

Fixinbones27@reddit

Yeah. Tibia/fibula fx. Easy to fix

[-]

PoppedCork@reddit

Im not the better for that when I saw his foot/leg

[-]

SudoApt-getrekt@reddit

It looks like there was no post-crash fire, so that plus low speed and luck I guess.

[-]

Inner-Thought9665@reddit

Black box recovered?

[-]

Trallalerotralalala@reddit

Small General Aviation planes like these are not required to have a black box.

[-]

fireandlifeincarnate@reddit

why is this being downvoted

[-]

danit0ba94@reddit

No idea. It's not a bad question. A harmless mistake at worst.

The thing is this subReddit is for everyone and most aren’t technically aware of the in and outs of all things related to aviation and have the right to ask their doubts and clarify. I don’t know why this subReddit has gotten so toxic lately that they start downvoting questions no matter how simple they are. We are in this subReddit because we LOVE aviation and want understand and explore more of it. But unfortunately at times the people I’m this subReddit disappoint me with such behaviour. But in this post I’m truly happy and a tear of joy rolled down my cheek seeing such supportive behaviour from everyone. I hope all interactions in this subReddit are henceforth well intentioned and not toxic. Thank you everyone
