AL Shower
Amazing that there was no fire. As an erstwhile refueller I would like to hear what the cats who DE-fueled that aircraft have to say. Nerve-wracking.
Google "C5 C-5 crash Delaware" to see photos of, well, the C-5 crash in Delaware. In that case the aircraft stalled about five feet above the ground, slammed down, and broke into several huge pieces. But again no fire.
One can also locate pictures of the C-5 recovery effort. How to move that much aluminum so as to clear the runway. Not trivial. Should give some hints as to how this 747 site will be cleaned up.
Big airplanes cause big problems when something breaks. Thankfully these were not passenger jets.
