We were in severe turbulence, and I'm sure were struck a number of times by lightening. The flight I had between HNL and KOA about 5 years ago would have taxed a supercomputer. The problem I definitely see is if the computer wasn't programmed for *every type of weather*, the planes will be dropping out of the sky like rocks! Hah! I would have gone with 'roll the dice'. Did the pilots decide to crash the plane to kill her? It's as crazy to me as a plane making a belly landing, and then taking off again to circle the airport and crash. Her social media accounts were shut down because too many people were slamming her saying that she deserved to die, and will be denied entry into their religions version of heaven. One thing that is also horrific is there was a Pakistani model on the plane. So many thnigs could have happened, but it appears that the flight crew just totally blew it. A lot will come out when the boxes are recovered and analyzed. Did they just flat out fly into the ground, or were they just that incompetent that they couldn't save themselves. The video shows them in a very nose up attitude, slowly sinking into the ground. Video of the actual crash does not show any indications of bad weather. It sounds like the flight crew had enough time to decide what to do. It could have turned out article I read said that they had tried at least 3 times to land the plane, and actually contacted the runway THREE TIMES on a belly landing attempt. At least they would have been within the airport perimeter and had access to some fire and crash rescue I would think. Looking at the airport, either end of it would have been better than crashing the way they did. He should have committed the plane to the landing, and if needed, extend the landing into dirt at the end of the runway. The pilot's judgement is clearly called into question for trying to take back off. They were requested to climb to 3,000, and initiate a left turn, when the pilot requested 2,000, and to start the left turn, then the tower said they were at 1,800 and descending and doing a tighter left turn, when they finally declared mayday, and crashed. Sorry I didn't make that clear, but I imagine the engines quickly blew all their oil when they spun back up, and then failed. To high, too fast, should have committed to the belly landing and decided 'on his own' to do a go around, for whatever reason, and try again. On climb out both failed likely do to loss of oil, they lost power, and were unable to maintain airspeed or altitude, and then he pulled a tight left turn.įifth, the tight streets and congestion/panic made rescue a near impossibility. Potentially the oil pumps in both engines were destroyed.įourth, the PIC did not consider the engine damage before elected to go around again. Third, the PIC didn't handle the belly landing well, and took off again with damaged engines. Second, the pilot did not tell the tower that the landing gear had failed until after the attempt to land. The PIC said he was 'satisfied' after two warnings from the tower and approach. So first, they were to high for the approach. It was seen with the turbo generator deployed.
