red750 Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 Copy the link and paste into address bar. Works that way. Looked OK till it broke in half. Snow was pretty bad though.
onetrack Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 Yikes! - that's just frightening, the way it broke up so rapidly and completely. I'd guess there were no survivors?
pmccarthy Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 3 fatalities according to Aviation Safety Network. 1
willedoo Posted January 28, 2019 Author Posted January 28, 2019 Not sure what happened to the live video link. It worked for a while then stopped. Still on youtube though. It looks like the tail struck just before the main gear. It's one of the older, non upgraded ones - some airframe fatigue in the mix possibly. According to wiki, they are 58 tonnes empty weight, 112 loaded and it landed hard.
