Captain Alfred Haynes describes
united flight 232 crash.
Of the 296 passengers and crew on board, 112 died during the accident, while 184 people survived. 13 of the passengers were uninjured. It was the deadliest single-aircraft accident in the history of United Airlines. Most were killed by injuries sustained during the multiple impacts, but 35 people in the middle fuselage section directly above the fuel tanks died from smoke inhalation in the post-crash fire. Of those, 24 had no traumatic blunt-force injuries. The majority of the 184 survivors were seated behind first class and ahead of the wings. Many passengers were able to walk out through the ruptures to the structure.

"Despite the fatalities, the accident is considered a good example of successful crew resource management. A majority of those aboard survived; experienced test pilots in simulators were unable to reproduce a survivable landing. It has been termed "The Impossible Landing" as it is considered one of the most impressive landings ever performed in the history of aviation."

Massive respect to the pilot for managing to save the situation and save some lives.

If you are impressed by that, check out Flight 961's story, the pilot managed to perform a sort of controlled crash landing on water WHILE fighting hijackers in the cockpit, saving dozens of lives.

Yeah must be pretty fucking hard to land a plane after it does a Nollie 360 flip into a board slide.. Definitely not luck or anything.
