Plane crazy

Pictured above is the plane in which we were passengers, snapshotted shortly after it nearly crashed while landing (with us in it).

    Wow.

    Look at all that ice. I am surprised they could get it to stop at all. I was slipping a little in my VW Beetle on Tues, I can only imaging trying to stop the weight of a plan like that.

    hmm

    I wonder if a plane like that has thrust reversers. I guess if it has that may have helped it stop, and if it hasn’t its amazing you stopped at all.

    Yea, it has reversers, so stopping is not that impossible, but it can still be a tricky one in crosswind and slippery runway.. Glad to hear it went OK after all.
