    Default 747 Freighter Crash

    Some of you may have seen this on the news yesterday. Someone's car happened to record the video of the crash. Pretty sad stuff.

    Planes are so safe which is why when there is a crash, it's big news.
    Really sad news
    Hopefully the investigation will get issues fixed or at least find a cause to put the families mind to rest.

    Obviously by the video, you can see it stalled which is because they didnt have enough speed, but why? I'm sure we'll soon find out.

    At the moment the speculation is that a load shift occurred on takeoff resulting in the plane stalling. Hence it falling out of the sky.

    These planes are so complex and extensively tested that it was probs human error. Whether it be pilots or the ground crew...

    Wow that's scary stuff! Maybe a stupid question but do planes like that not have ejector seats?

    Only military aircrafts.
    Plus some pilots stay in their planes till it goes down to divert it away from houses - like the Red Arrows pilot.

    It would cost so much money if they did. Which is why you only really see them in fighter jets and other military aircraft.

    Plus they don't have a glass roof, or wear protective helmets...
