Terrible. I hope the fatalities are low as currently being reported.
Bad as it is, it appears here initially that it could have been a lot worse
with much sadder outcome.
I see that the LH A380 FRA>SFO diverted to OAK. That would be cool to watch
that (assumed) ferry flight from OAK across the bay to SFO, which I assume they'll get to once the immediate crisis is dealt with.
Amazing photos!!! Thanks so much for posting this.
I flew EA L1011s in and out of LGA on occasion. I always
worried about those 7000' runways and not ending up
in the water!
An interesting read. I imagine this scene from childhood was repeated in airports across the country and around the world. As for me, I did much of the same thing in the CSG airport back in the day. Of course that was when CSG received nearly 30 flights a day from about 15 cities. Today, only 5 CRJs come from ATL. Sad. Lots of memories from those days.
