At least 85 people have been confirmed dead so far, according to the local fire department. Two people, both crew members, were pulled alive from the crash site however rescuers have warned there is little hope of finding further survivors.
thats going to be 170+ dead when its over
I’m more impressed that a plane crash of this magnitude has ANY survivors.
I saw video of it on X and it’s as bad as it reads
They said they pulled two crew out alive. My guess is flight attendants in the back. I hope they pull through.
omg its just horrifying.
its like watching one of the test videos of planes being crashed into a brick wall on purpose.
Yeah looks like the thrust reversers were on so they tried to slow down but it wasn’t enough to matter
At this point 737s should just be banned from flight. How many more people have to die (including whistle-blowers) for us to get Boeing leadership accountable.
I guess the only hope is another Mangionni like event.
Obviously we don’t know yet if there was anything else wrong with the plane apart from the landing gear but aren’t pilots trained to land a plane without landing gear in case the situation arises?
It seems to have touched down with no significant damage to the fuselage until it hit the embankment. The pilots did manage to bring it down at least somewhat softly and on a runway, they just couldn’t get it stopped on time
