My God, I can't stop laughing.

My wife was like "what are you laughing at?" Pure comedy gold, Jerry...

Posted 24 hours before the newscast, I think spur may be the legitimate source, confirmed by the NTSB intern.

The 2013 Emmy award for TV news goes to....."dwum ro pease" : KTVU News San Francisco/Oakland CA!!! :beer: :beer: :beer:

Made my day. Literally, I have been laughing all day at the thought of how this shit could have happened. How many morons did this list of "names" make it through before it actually made it to air? Un-fucking-believable.

Good to have humor in the light of such a tragedy.

5.6M YouTube views in 2 days. Some of the comments on the YouTube "news" video are hilarious. One guy says the source has been identified as someone named "Bart Simpson." Well done, Spur. Well done indeed.

Dang, I bet that whole crew never flies again. Asiana is probably looking to replace them. Do any of you guys know if they're hiring?

With your Spec Ops F-16 time, you're a shoe-in.

its long but it shows the complete automation of the landing.

I'm not sure what you mean by "complete automation". In the video, the Captain is the pilot flying and is actually manually flying the aircraft. He has the auto-throttles on for a while, eventually turns them off and the landing is not "automated". What is a little strange is the F/O appears to be holding the stick too during the approach. Maybe to use the radio button on it (although not necessary as there are others he could be using). I've never seen both pilots holding the yoke or stick on any aircraft while it's being hand-flown. The Airbus aircraft take both inputs from both sticks and sort-of averages them unless a cut-out switch (take control) switch is held on one stick or the other - so definitely not a good practice to have two sets of hands on the controls (kind of common sense in any aircraft).

Came across this of a Lufthansa A380 doing a landing at SFO, its long but it shows the complete automation of the landing.

Too bad that Asiana didn't have the same "Bitching Betty" "Retard....Retard" as the Lufthansa A380 for the SFO approach....

Yeah, that video was posted somewhere on the forum before. I never understood why the F/O was "flying" as well. Doing shit like that will get a co-pilot punched in the face. Best part of the video was the Captain's reaction to the F/O's botched radio for the approach instructions.
