Correction to previous post. It may be the landing gear impacting the edge separating the runway from the San Francisco Bay. Check the last photo in this link by the Aviation Herald. It marked the position of the landing gear struts after the accident. One piece of the landing gear is in the...

Here is a You Tube footage of the crash trail. ---------- Post added at 09:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 PM ---------- The more I look at these images, the more I am convinced it was the tail part of the B 777 that struck the cliff at the runway threshold. If it was the gear...

I may be wrong but to me it looks like the landing gear struck the cliff at the runway threshold. Or as you say Gary, the tail part of the aircraft. http://www.orbiter-forum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=11901&stc=1&d=1373146777

Maybe they was unable to make a go around?

Yes, BA038 that was. Thanks. There are a lot of similarities to that crash. But it is pure speculation at this time. Maybe we will get more info later on. Anyway, I am glad everyone got out without casualties. It looks like a miracle. ---------- Post added at 08:57 PM ---------- Previous post...

It looks like the 777 clipped the edge where the runway start. There are some debris in the water. There is clearly markings on the breakwater edge of runway 28L For me it looks like it had difficulty maintaining power to land safely. And it nearly made it to the runway!!! It reminded me of a...

Windows 8 doesn't give me any problems. I run it without a compatibility mode. If it crashed on the Launchpad, there's an add-on that clash with Orbiter.

I can also speak one of our ingenuous languages called Zulu. But it is a very strange language to master, and sound harsh to the ear, even when speak polity. I also noted that the Dutch language have a strong German accent. But I can read and understand Dutch very well. Even a Dutch person can...

I noticed when translate German to Afrikaans, my mother language, it makes more sense. ---------- Post added at 04:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 PM ---------- Nicolas, how did you learn English. You are a French citizen, right? Or are there many people that speak English in...

Why is Google translate struggle so much with the German to English translation? I can understand the translation, but many sentences does not make sense. With other languages like French, the translation is near perfect. I noticed that when translating the "TINTIN SUR LA LUNE" add-on.

The hunt for Red October, 2010, Apollo 13 and The Right. Stuff. The hunt for Red October for excellent camera work, story line and actors.

The simple answer to that is that the Earth was smaller before the Proto planet impacted it at that time. So it had less mass and a smaller orbital velocity. Added the sling shot effect and it is quite plausible for the ejected mass to reach orbital velocity. Another thing is that orbital...

The most important key to this theory is that the proto planet struck the Earth at a glancing angle. That mean that not all the velocity of the proto planet was lost. In effect the molten material was "launch" into orbit. Some material reach orbital velocity. The other material fall back to...

Orb...there is no message box. The program is just unresponsive. Alt tabbing does not work, because as soon as I want to close the program it disappear in the back ground. It appear on the Task Bar, but I can't close it. Either by "close program or the X on the right hand top of the tab, does...

I've have this annoying issue with Windows 8 that is bother me some time now. If I run a app or game, like FSX or Orbiter and some other games, in full screen mode and it crash, there is no way to close it. The only way is to log off and then on again. If I try to bring up the Task Manager to...
