Delta Connection Flight 4951
Hello all. Of course I have an opinion about the video that was released. So let's hear it and get it over with.
I know that passengers want to get videos of unusual events like this but to me, their safety is more important. Especially in an emergency landing where G forces will be displaced to the occupant. We all know that when the landing gear is not there, the energy will be displaced to the fuselage, then to the seat rails, then to the seat, then to Joe Blo recording his video. The landing gear is a very critcal comoponent when it comes to absorbing vertical Gs.
And hello, our bodies don't take vertical G's very well. We only take 15Gs for 0.10 seconds well. Yes this was a very low speed impact, but still, PUT THE CAMERA DOWN and brace yourself! She's not yelling at you for nothing.
