Gs that looks serious enough dont it.....777 aint a small plane to be crash landing or too glide...nobody killed thats something anyway:)

Yeah that is good news, from current reports there are 12 people that have minor injuries.

Also from watching the footage earlier, the landing gear has detached and has been left behind in the grass just short of the runway due to the force in which the plane landed. Also the left gear took so much force it has been pushed up through the left wing hence the Damage.

Lots of speculation at the moment as to how and why this happened. But as the saying goes, probably wait until the cattle have come home and the facts are present ;);):o:o
