I am willing to bet the landing was just as smooth as any other dash 8


From my years of flying the dash it was probably smoother then any of mine

Yup. She's setting the table for her totally disabling PTSD diagnosis and subsequent multi-billion dollar lawsuit, nice of CNN to play along. She did win the lottery and she knows it.

The crew that she speaks so highly of will be named in the lawsuit (probably the FA too), along with both airlines, Bombardier, ATC, the city of PHL, and I'm sure about 12 other entities.

Wow...you are probably right. I did think her comparison to 9/11 was waaay off base though. It will be interesting to know what becomes of this.

She's just out to make a quick buck from USAirways. That wasn't a crash. That was a textbook gear up landing. The pilots did the right thing & everyone survived. I am willing to bet the landing was just as smooth as any other dash 8 landing too.
I made it 20 seconds. Gag me.

That's okay, the city of brotherly love is almost as broke as their airline.

I bet the fact that she had her cell phone on caused the gear to stay up. This is all her fault to begin with.

Wow, she's dumb. Yeah if the wing was on fire and parts were flying off, then maybe "there's your sign" that it's not going to end well, but it was still controllable. "The flaps for the landing gear" good grief.
