Remark Photographer
EC-JOH (cn 731) Skid off during landing. Certainly amazing, no one was hurt, but the damage is amazing. 3 Engines ripped out, wing lost, a landing gear ripped out, front gear collapsed! Note engine 1 and 2 totaly ripped facing an other way! Just look how close it was to this house and to the wall.

Great snap my friend. Firstly I'd like to reiterate the fact that its so great nobody was injured. Theres something eery about this shot in my opinion. Not sure why, just sends a shiver up my spin. Lighting and sharpness both sublime!

Sad to see A340 in that shape. Due to the damage to the wing and fuselage, we may not see her anymore flying across the skies.
