Swift , DHL CRASH VILNIUS , Boeing 737

[@intro2u173]

Guys 3:22 pilot says 2300 ft...???? Airport operator said 2700 ft. I listened repeating on high volume 10 times....2300 ft... Si it means pilot lowed plane wrongly...

[@subsimer6856]

3:22 is the end of the video

[@subsimer6856]

@@mantasbudraitis6743 Video footage clearly shows that a crash wasn't related due to altitude.

0:58

[@jamesmullins657]

That’s sounds like he says 2700 to me. Regardless airport elevation is ~700 ft so it would have only resulted in capturing the ILS later. From there the glide path would have guided them down correctly assuming it was tuned and working correctly

[@Joshiiie77]

@@subsimer6856 If it wasn't for altitude the plane wouldn't crash, would it? No altitude means plane on ground. And you're right, altitude wasn't the cause of crash, however when approaching on VNO airport, the plane was 40KM/h faster than usual and thousand feet lower than it should be. Either human error(read chart wrong) or some other issue. There is other footage which shows plane steering to the right, right before impact.

[@subsimer6856]

1:43 a sudden loss of control. and a faint flash, like explosion or engine failure ?

[@marathonogg]

​​@subsimer6856 the video quality is good enough to see the navigation lights. You think an explosion wouldn't be obvious? There is no flash/explosion/smoke visible.

It doesn't make any big difference. It's not the cause for this... Even experts said that.

Controlled flight into terrain

[@BobHill-s2c]

The landing lights beam suggest high AOA but it could have been: a) STALL due to configuration/speed mismanagement b) sudden loss of thrust (it is a Boeing :P) c) windshear d) too intense rwy lighting/optical illusion of the position e) hijack by teddy bears from the back ;D

[@kaytrell]

@@BobHill-s2c And taking into consideration that this was a cargo flight, a sudden change in center of gravity (CG) and center of pressure (CP) could also nose dive the plane - something went terribly wrong... It doesn't seem (from this angle) like a confusion (''...crap we are too high/over the glide slope, push the stick and cut the engines'') but more as you said a wind shear or even worse, loss of thrust... Another thing I can't see here (clearly) is that the weather on the approach - visually, it looks foggy but not dough thick - at least enough to spot the airport landing lights: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3zLmIuJgdmgqpY The conditions were if nothing else, similar as in the video... Here is another report - take a look at the footage in the report: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2jboHmviNWGnrs

[@MacDouhui]

Seems like the pilot may have mistook a street or highway for the runway: controlled flight into terrain.

[@tristantriton8115]

that nosedive near the end looks more like a runaway trim situation. If they did stalll and they tried to break the stall then that could explain the nose down dive with not enough time to recover. Everyone on the audio sounds tired so that could play a role in identifying the issue and resolving the issue before it becomes critical. Time will reveal what happened. RIP to the soul/s lost.

[@marathonogg]

Possibility of wind shear

[@subsimer6856]

Not likely, its the uncommon flash at 1:43 pointing to the inside explosion and fire or any other structural damage.

[@marviwilson1853]

Seemed like an accelerated descent rate on final approach.

[@subsimer6856]

1:43 if because of explosion or structural failure left wing must have been lost on landing so plane turned hard to left making flashes ON CAM with landing lights and went down on a right side..

[@singingdog8]

Ice on the wings caused a stall I would have thought

[@anime_addicted9]

Why did it crash ?

[@subsimer6856]

Cargo explosion most likely.
