Looks way too fast & I see no airbrakes/spoilers, flaps or landing gear.

Bird strike took out hydraulics?
Even then the plane should have backup gravity deployment on the gear I believe.

Pilots did have it nice and straight though but ran out of runway and why a embankment at the end instead of runoff room?

Looks like flaps are down in the bird strike/compressor stall vid EX500rider Dec 29 #14

Yeah I suspect there may have been some tunnel vision over engine restart... EX500rider Dec 29 #15

DEAR GOD!..Didn't they have time to foam the runway?..I guess probably not. chouchou Dec 29 #3

In this case foaming the runway would have extended the slide, not helpful in this case IMO EX500rider Dec 29 #11

Tragic. bamagal62 Dec 29 #12

737-800 has a generally strong safety record, largely due to mature technology. EX500rider Dec 29 #9

I'm thinking electrical problem jmowreader Dec 29 #16

It's pretty much a given more people would have survived had the berm not been there Major Nikon Dec 29 #19

While i agree... EX500rider Dec 30 #20

The antennas almost certainly were mounted on frangible supports Major Nikon Dec 30 #21

Yeah but they were already on approach.. EX500rider Dec 30 #22

They were able to climb which means at least one of the engines was making power at least initially Major Nikon Dec 31 #23

I understand them wanting to keep the hull clean to extend glide... EX500rider Dec 31 #25

From the time of the mayday call to crash was only 2-3 mins Major Nikon Jan 2 #27
