Flights - Yikes

How that Pilot got that plane totally inverted, just in time, during what is probably an amazing about of sudden cross wind, is honestly amazing. It was their only chance. He/she should be admired, but we all know that he/she will be scapegoated no matter.
Who ever that pilot is, should be able to sleep proud that they saved lives, even though their carrier is over and stories will be told for decades, to save Delta's Admin.
Shit like this doesn't happen often and impossible to actually plan or train for. No matter the fault that will be found, there is some praise to be celebrated at the same time.

Dood, if they touched down wing first, this would have been a totally different story and I didn't say that they did it all on purpose. But there was a split second that they had to go either totally inverted or belly. C'mon man.

Uhhh... no... 😉🍺🇨🇦🍺

Naw... I'm not buying it... It seems like it all happened too fast at too low an altitude to be able to fully pull that type of manuver off in an intentional manner....

Supposedly, per one talking head "expert" they slid off the runway a little and caught the gear on something, causing them to flip...

I like your causation better but it seems unlikely...

You're the flyer though..., so what do I know...

((I'm not trying to be a jerk about it)) 😎
 
This shows them level on touchdown/impact but doesn't show what caused them to go inverted... :

Whatever the case that's 80 Blessed people who came off that plane alive...


Would make a great "keep your seat belt tight and fastened until we reach the gate" poster...

Update: from another angle (cell phone video) it looked like a really hard landing that caused the starboard landing gear to buckle...
