One of these planes just crashed in New York and killed everybody on it. And one person on the ground.

I think Scandinavian Airlines System, removed the Bombardier Dash-8 Q300/Q400 in their fleet…Maybe they should have tried ATR72-500, I sit comfortably on ATR72-500 than the Qseries
In most emergency …
In most emergency checklists it clearly states: landing with one main landing gear defective – DO NOT ATTEMPT.
In this case they knew the gear would fail, so I have no clue why they did not opt for a belly landing. Also, in case of gear malfunctions you want to shut down the engines upon touch down, feather them so to speak and shut down the fuel supply. I did not see it in this case either. 25 sec for the engines to stop is way too long.
Was it a known …
Was it a known possibility before the landing that the gear may fail? if they did know they probably should have pulled all the gear up and did a belly skid, just to keep it straight, although this plane looks like it could lean one way or the other cause the wings are high.
This crew did not …
This crew did not do a very good job on landing this plane. They made a lot of mistakes.
And SAS ?
They may claim they did not need to check this bolt, but any idiot knows they should have.

The end was very nasty how the plane veered of the runway
Yeah, In Sweden …
Yeah, In Sweden political correctness is far more important then human lives or the survival of major companies.
So SAS probably employed immigrants that just recently arrived from Somalia and who have never before seen anything more technically advanced then their mud hut.

so, did the right strut leak all of it’s fluid out in flight or something?

> so Porter Airlines Q400′s arranged permission to land on the cross runways during busy times. These are the connecting portions of the airport normally used to move aircraft on the ground from takeoff runway to terminal & vice versa. Since a Q400, fully loaded only needs 2,200 feet to takeoff, Porter airlines and any others with the Q400, will save time and money on fuel when flying in or out of EWR, Newark’s Liberty airport. Porter starts to fly March 31 to EWR from Toronto Island airport.
TGBY,yes i know …
TGBY,yes i know what the media reports are as they were also reported here in Toronto where they build the Q400. SAS pretends they are getting the $160 million so they don’t loose face but in reality, they get nothing and they sure don’t get a discount of $160 million off the price of the new planes. As a correction, if all options were taken, the price is $1.75 billion not the $1.2 billion i mentioned before. Note that EWR & JFK have cut back on the # of flights during rush hour, so the Q400>
In swedish …
In swedish newspapers/radio today: “Canadian airplane manufacturer Bombardier has agreed to pay 160 million dollars to Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) in compensation for cancelled flights due to construction faults.”
SAS has decided …
SAS has decided that protesting who is at fault in this matter was hurting the airline way too much as the problems were a maintenance problem with dirty hydraulic fluid and other bits of plastic in the fluid. On March 10, 2008, they dropped any complaints and ordered 27 new bombardier planes. The dollar value of these planes is $880 and with options could total $1.2 billion. There is no truth to the rumour that the maintenance people have been sent to Siberia. Too bad, it’s what they deserve.

How do the CRJ’s …
How do the CRJ’s have bad quality? Granted that I have a biased opinion, as a Bombardier engineer (for Learjet), but all too often people “gauge” the quality of an aircraft based on brand size. This is probably an unfair comparison, but I would take a CRJ or a Dash-8/Q400 over an A380 any day.
