Cessna 172 Crash
Posted by: mwuahahaha
Video duration: 54 seconds
Orlando, Florida
One of the most tragic videos I have. This is a Cessna 172 carrying an instructor and his students. After total engine failur, the instructor decides to land on a golf course. He overshoots the approach, catches some power lines, and impacts a pole. The instructor dies immediately; the student recovers completely.

Anchorage, Alaska
The pilot of this plane put the fuel selector on a near-empty tank and tried to take off. The engine, starved of fuel, shut down and the pilot had to make a forced landing on the largest strip of land he could find ahead of him: in this case, a crowded baseball field.

One-Legged Charlie

In this video, a 737 originally flying from Washington, D.C. to Charlotte, NC is diverted to Greensboro for an emergency landing. The problem? It's left gear is stuck in the up position. The plane is landed successfully, but not after a first failed attempt. It was determined that rubber wheel blocks left in the gear well jammed the door shut.

Cuban Eight's Kaboomable Fate (ground view)
Posted by: mwuahahaha
Video duration: 48 seconds
In this clip, an F-16 Thunderbird attempts a maneuver known as a 1/2 Cuban 8. You need to start the maneuver with enough altitude to finish it off, though. Unfortunately, this pilot did not.

747FAST747FURIOUS: Hong Kong Drift
Posted by: mwuahahaha
Video duration: 17 seconds
A 747 flies one of the most insane (and horribly designed) approaches in the world: Honk Kong's Kai-Tak Airport (retired). I'm sure ATPs wax nostalgic over this approach, but jumping jimmeny christ...

A China Airlines MD-11 crashes while attempting to land in a typhoon at Hong Kong. Just before landing on the runway, the aircraft banked right and its wingtip struck the ground.
