thats great news :up:

I saw where the section foward of the wing broke-off/away, was this aircraft on a take-off or landing

well my understanding it had taken off and something went wrong with engine #2 so they turned around and was headed back but they fell short they landed in a field right of of route nine

I am always amazed those things can fly at all

We travel RT1 past Dover on our way to OC,We often see them landing or takeing off.They are so huge they look like they are just floating up there.It's great everyone survived.

Just got back from wilmington and saw the crash,,,they are some huge planes.

Yeah, that thing is HUGE inside!
And the Russians have two bigger than that!
They used one to relocate an entire Pepsi factory to Russia, minus the brick and mortar of course.

They'll have a reason for the belly flop after a nice long investigation, but the all-knowing media will solve it by tomorrow morning.
