Not to mention what if it were a single green FO with a 64.9 year old Captain doing 2 pilot ops after a magical ATA-fantasy "domicile reset", 10 hour block, 3 hour ETOPS and this happened at the ETP and the old guy checked out. I guess that's why they sell insurance.

according to snopes.com, the Air China incident you mention was actually the damaged engine from the DHL A-300 that took a missile hit over Baghdad.

It's rather obvious that this is a military tanker, maybe a KC-135 based on the size, and the real mission was to close the Warsaw airport because that's where they keep the records that prove George Bush hates New Orleans and he ordered the levees to be blown up.
Or maybe it was a cruise missile, which would explain why there was no landing gear. Which of course means that the photos showing a 767 landing in a shower of sparks are forgeries, planted by Fox News.
Not to change the subject, but............
Anyone based in DTW use Dr Dana Bush (Waterford, MI) as their FAA medical examiner?

Did you know that losing two engines on one side of a four engine aircraft is not the same as losing one engine on a two engine aircraft? Both the assymetry and drag is greater creating higher fuel consumption, controllability is more difficult, and obviously this creates a loss or degradation of redundant systems. Did you know that the odds of losing another engine are the exact same as losing the first engine? Why would you continue to your destination with either? Would you continue to your destination with an aircraft producing only 3/4 of it's rated thrust and a inoperable engine producing nothing but drag? I'm not paid enough and I'm not brave enough to continue with an engine out. Not even with four engines. Now maybe one engine out on a B-52, just maybe.
I have about 2300 hours PIC of a four engine heavy jet. I am very familiar with the handling characteristics with one or two engines out. And I didn't say I would fly accross the ocean. I did say I would have no problem flying from LAX to NYC and landing there rather than dump 250K of gas.
After watching that video, I'm certain I didn't see any passenger windows. Also, the aircraft is entirely gray, more like a military plane than an airliner. And there were funny shadows under the wings, the kind of shadows that could only be made by gas tanks or rockets.

And you didn't mention it but a 767 fuselage is wider than a runway and that video that airplane is not wider. And it is obvious that it was traveling at a speed that exceeded it's maximum operating limits that should have caused in-flight structural failure. If you look at EgyptAir EA990, it was a 767 that entered a dive and accelerated to a peak speed of .99 Mach at 22,000 feet. Boeing sets maximum operating speeds for the 767 as 360 Knots and .86 Mach. I have calculated the Equivalent Airspeed for EA990 peak speed of .99 Mach at 22,000 feet as the equivalent dynamic effects of 425 knots at or near sea level. It's obvious this LOT 767 was exceeding that speed coming into land. Although other factors come into play within the transonic ranges, Dynamic pressure is dynamic pressure. Math doesn't lie. Boeing needs to release wind tunnel data for the Boeing 767. Despite the fact that the data can be fabricated, such a release of data may alert more pilots and engineers to the extremely excessive speeds reported near sea level for the Boeing 767 in which they can decide for themselves.
Where can I join Pilots for LOT 767 Truth!!!! ?

There was no gear indicating that it was the naval version intended to land in the water.
There is a halo around the lights, this was due to the fact that in production this plane was built from alien technology and has been frequently filmed and mistaken for a ufo due to these halos.
The only real question remaining is why does LOT fly the naval version of the aurora?
While we are debunking theories, I have to jump on the boomer bandwagon: In the video, there were no propellers which is clear evidence that this was a top secret propeller plane that was able to shed its props in flight for higher speed. It probably did this at high altitude and high speed indicating a further advance in scramjet technology.
