Boeing 737-800 Crash-landing (General)
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A passenger plane burst into flames Sunday after it skidded off a runway at a South Korean airport and slammed into a concrete fence when its front landing gear apparently failed to deploy, killing most of the 181 people on board, in one of the country’s worst aviation disasters.
Raises a shitload of questions relevant to this thread. Wouldn't there be a warning sign saying landing gear failed to open? Will it somehow be attributed to 'human error'? The pilot forgot to open the landing wheels?
Indeed. How could they not be aware that the landing gear had not deployed? The video sure seems to confirm the absence of landing gear.
I'm sure I've been on planes where you could actually watch the landing gear deploying from your seat monitor. Can you imagine tuning in to that channel, being a couple hundred feet in the air, descending quickly, and seeing no landing gear?
One question I have is, were the pilots depending on an AI-enhanced system? You're right regarding the 'human error' take. It will almost certainly be caused on that.
