    From a pilot - 1st, RIP. Looks like they tried to make the Impossible Turn.
  • @marcsantana7
    Tried the impossible turn. That is a spin stall and sure death if done at a low altitude.
  • @LisaD007
    I hate when this happens. It’s so close to home, but either way, it’s just a tragedy.
  • @piper0428
    Pilot is able to prepare for such an emergency as long as he plans for it ahead of time. You must know the airplane performnance, safe altitude and proper speed that can assure a safe return to airport. They are all different to all aircraft. RIP
  • @greghanna7753
    No mention of flight plan filed and no ID of the victims? Weird.
  • @lotuzcreatez
    They want people to call in if they have information, but gave us no information, not even the airplane number or anything to identify the people from the accident...smh.
  • @trevfenn
    And what is a pilot supposed to do when developers are allowed to build housing right up to the airport boundaries?
  • @Clyne_Phiri_265
    This has reminded us on the death of 8 passengers on board including the vice president of republic of Malawi who died on 10th June 2024. May their souls rest in peace
  • @arthurfoyt6727
    At 0:57, a turn back just as "risky" as flying straight ahead into a dense business park or an apartment complex. Balling it up in the airport environment is infinitely better than the news showing a flaming inferno in a school classroom.
  • You can turn 180 only if you have enough altitude, above 1,500 feet.
  • @jordan-mn6yy
    why u turn if u dont have time isnt the freeway supposed to be an option? Unless they had no freeways available cause its a big city maybe?
  • stop stalling the planes even if you have an engine out keep the nose down and land where you have to land. but for fk sake, stop stalling the plane. you will fall out of the air if you stall. Your odds drop to almost Zero if you stall but if you glide land you have a 50/50
