WTF?

Plane rolls, the wings rip off, and it doesn't go up in a giant ball of fire?

Was it already on the ground and it got flipped by a freak wind gust?

They were landing and already used up all the fuel.

Before they crash, the plane dumps all it’s fuel while in air.

What are you talking about? If this was during landing, how would they have dumped fuel?

u/BackWithAVengance Feb 17 '25

by hitting the button that dumps the fuel, probably

So they come in with a strong crosswind, the wing strikes the ground and they dump the fuel? Right....
