very odd, engines are both still going, control surfaces seem intact. Be interesting to see the cause. If the pilot was consciously trying to avoid that apartment building though, he deserves a medal.

Well, I'll bet he preferred the water to nailing a building.

just because they're spinning doesn't mean they were generating thrust

The last communication from one of the aircraft’s pilots was “Mayday Mayday engine flameout”, according to an air traffic control recording on liveatc.net.

A flameout occurs when the fuel supply to the engine is interrupted or when there is faulty combustion, resulting in an engine failure.

Man, whoever was in that car is going to steal the light at the next party. "Oh ya? Well I swerved past a crashing plane. What else do you have?"

Yeah, the odds of that guy driving that car getting clipped by the airplane is insane. I love how he turns his hazards on after he gets hit.

Yeah, he's got to be like the only person ever to survive getting clipped by a plane.

Flying is kinda scary when you break it down you guys.

Here's how I break it down. If I suddenly fall at a given moment, what will likely happen to me? If I suddenly fall while I'm walking, for example, I'll likely just have minor pain for a very brief moment with no lasting damage to my body at all. Is this kinda scary? No, not really. Now, suppose that I am flying in a plane. That means that I'm way up in the air, going really fast. If I suddenly fall, I will smash into the ground SUPER hard and likely die from getting crushed by the immense impact or perhaps even burn or get shredded to death due to an explosion. And, you're exactly right, now that I've broken it down, I can see that flying is indeed kinda scary to think about.
