737 ingests American flag and pole at Ocala, FL OCF
The original better quality video stops just short of ingestion.The second video shows the flag and pole going in just before it ends. This was an Honor Flight returning home from a day at Washington, DC. Pilot sticks flag and pole out of cockpit window, then drops it on the tarmac. Instead of stopping, they move forward and suck the flag and pole up off of the ground. (youtu.be) Mehr...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
When the headline or the content of a news report do not live up to the headline it is called LOUSY JOURNALISM and if it was posted by a blogger, lousy bloggerism (LOL!!!)
When the headline does not live up to the headline!? Scratching my head.... Anyhow, headlines are about grabbing peoples attention. Plain and simple.
OOPS! Should have washed the butter off my fingers first.
Victor, in all seriousness, I agree....it was an accident to be sure; there was no disrespect intended.
I have to say I'm a bit surprised at the comments here. It was an accident. Give the pilot a break. In a choice between losing control of the flag or the aircraft, best to lose the flag. This should be taken for what it is: an accident.
you know everyone on here is perfect.....they would never:drop a flag, sing the wrong words to the national athem, always make the perfect touch down pass or caught it, make a bad landing,or fly blindly into bad weather.
@tim: don't forget walk on water!
