Title: would be funny if not real
Post by: Neon_WA on August 15, 2014, 09:54:58 PM

This is a strange type of incident that I have never come across before lol

Start of article
A captain lost control of a passenger plane after his artificial arm became detached as he was coming in to land, an accident report has said.

The incident involved a Flybe Dash-8 carrying 47 passengers flying into Belfast City airport back in February but details have only been released

I didn't think he was a professional NTSB investigator. Are you sure he isn't just lending a hand?  :-D
