    DAMN!!! That could have been much worse! Any word on what caused it? Gear not locked?

      Yeah, nose gear didn't lock. It was on the news a few days ago.
      You remember the stories John use to tell us about the the three chinamen playing Fantan? This guy runs up to them and says, "Hey, the world's coming to an end!" and the first one says, "Well, I best go to the mission and pray," and the second one says, "Well, hell, I'm gonna go and buy me a case of Mezcal and six whores," and the third one says "Well, I'm gonna finish the game." I shall finish the game, Doc.

        ahhh, I don't watch the news, so I guess that explains it.

          I read it touched down with the nose gear first, which doesn't absorb the impact like the rears. Damn, that made my heart skip a beat just watching it. Probably my biggest fear.

            it looks like a bit of pilot error to me, his rate of decent seemed awfully high, and if the nose hit first.... Seems like the pilot still thought he was a few hundred feet above the runway, too many hookers and too much blow?

                  How does a pilot even let that happen?

                  Southwest landings have always been rough in my opinion. I heard years ago that they primarily hired ex-military pilots because they were used to shorter runways. Damn pilots come in hot like they're going to snag an arresting wire to stop.

                      I would piss and shit my britches immediately if this were to happen to me on a flight. I dread the next time I have to get on a plane.

                        Don't know why but every time I fly and I only fly SW, I kinda wish something would happen. I wish it every time.

                            WTF, like what? The only think I usually wish is that I don't have a panic attack and that the stewardess' were all naked.

                              Probably someone that didn't have their phone turned off while in flight.
