   @Infoseepage @GossiTheDog yeah, high speed gliding was doing fine until plane hit the wall.

     @Infoseepage @GossiTheDog someone on Reddit pointed out there would have been fire trucks assembled and such if they knew it was an emergency landing, but maybe they are just out of the shot.

     @Infoseepage @GossiTheDog is it an obstacle on the front of the runway or on the side of it? I cant tell from the video.

     @peter @Infoseepage @GossiTheDog bird strike does not sound like the main problem for me, the plane reached the rwy threshold just fine. Too fast sure, but it was fine down to the ground. Why didnt the gear come down?

     @f4grx @Infoseepage @peter @GossiTheDog my question is why didn’t they redirect to a different airport with longer runway and burn off fuel while doing so? maybe both engines were damaged or had more hydraulic issues requiring immediate landing? We’ll see when the FDR is analyzed.

     @Infoseepage @peter @GossiTheDog the hydraulics loss if confirmed is a concern. There seem to be two independent circuit in boeing planes, right? I'll have to find details about that. There should be an electric pump and the ram turbine in last resort. Were both circulations damaged and unable to retain pressure? That thing happened on boeings previously. I dont remember that flight where fan blades traversed the hull and severed several hydraulics circuits.
