Bad Landings

If ya want to see some of the landings pilots are less proud of, then you can head over to this site.  There are also some other images if you go to the home page

I saw that first one. It happened during the night here in Anchorage. Talk about funny stuff, it did very little damage to Asiana's 747.

The one with the Jeep was taken from a funny video from a website like airmovies.com or something (I wish I could remeber).

And it sucks to see a Cessna 185 in the ice like that.

Thanks for that site.. I've been looking for that one for a while now.

A few of them look photoshopped... but the rest of them are great... and a little scary.

Some of these need captions.

Yes, some are fake (the shark, the Jeep)... I read about a couple of these: The Cessna hanging by a wheel from the wire was, I believe, upset by wingtip vortices while on final- the pilot almost rolled through it and recovered, but got hung up on the wire (which didn't break!). He was hanging there for a while until they got a cherry-picker up to him. The sliced-up twin was the result of a taxi accident; another larger twin came at it from behind, engines running. The DC10 up on its tail was obviously being loaded (improperly)... I enjoy these, but I wish they wouldn't call it "Bad Landing"; just helps the ignorant become more ignorant, and makes aviation look more dangerous. Even that shot of the 747 landing close behind another airliner isn't as bad as it looks, because it's a telephoto shot. They may have even gone around...
Gotta say I love the car being catapulted, though!
There are some other great ones elsewhere on that site, like the DHL A300 that took an AA hit over Baghdad, and the shot-up A10 that was hit over the same city and was nursed home by its female pilot who refused to eject there... or how about the F18 that landed with a broken-off refueling drogue still stuck in the canopy...

I can confirm the Memphis ones are real. Nice little site.

Hmm, I heard that one was fake. Physically impossible. Apparently somebody took like a sawblade type thing to it.
