Having a bad day.

Bad day indeed, but also nice animated pics 🙂

The accident depicted actually happened, although these aren't photographs of it. The story behind these animations can be read here:

And the longeron failure wasn't due to corrosion, it was due to fatigue cracks.

Yeah I also heard of it, but its funny that there stands "took these photos" 😛

Amazing what can be done on computers nowadays. It even got the brown spot on the pilots pants. Gary

The Snopes page has the video that these stills were taken from.
