And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Tupolev Tu-22 comes in too hot in bad weather, breaks up and goes boom
That really is bad weather. I wonder if the pilots saw the runway correctly in that near whiteout.
It looked pretty good until the last moment, so I imagine there was no fault with the pilot. I will congratulate the flight crew for about th best I think anyone could have done in that predicament. :(
too steep a descent and too fast, it looks like. Flared just a bit too low and broke the back of the airplane.
ReplyDeleteEasy enough to do in those conditions.
Sad that 2 crew died.
You'd think that they would have had a divert airfield on the flight plan with weather like that.
ReplyDeleteNot one that you could eject out of...
