You were there at the right time. Fabolous!

Thank you for uploading this in big format, quite a catch. But still a sad sight, I realy like the A346, thankfully nobody was hurt, good plane.

Awesome capture of such an incident. Glad no one was hurt. What a shame, such a beautiful aircraft!
Good shot!

Nice pictre, I really like the lighting, also good that no one was hurt. Amazing.

Thanks for the close up view of this accident Stefano! -Andrés

Thnx for posting this dramatic high res pic on the event & the a.net selection crew for allowing it quickly!

What an amazing shot. To capture this type of shot in these conditions is trully remarkable. 3 cheers to the photographer. i sure hope and pray that not 1 person was injured

You can't see that every day from your backyard...

It's a sad sight, but it makes one hell of a photo! Nice job

I hope it won't be scrapped. Sad to see such a beauty in this bad condition.

Truly astonishing. Good thing no one got hurt. T.B.

A highly evocative night shot, which shows the sad accident to this fine aircraft.

Trully sad feeling to see this beautiful big bird in this condition..Thank good that nobody was injured, and now we all have to hope that we will see the A346 fly again soon ;)

Perfect angle! Luckily there were no injuries.
Very good pic.

I witnessed the incident on August the 31st and took pictures of it which weren't screened because of heathaze but this event is so much more dramatic,
Thanks a lot Stefano, No. 1 for UIO!

Got to be more carefull when you do the 360 walk around and look very close to the tires...for any damage...but great that no body got problems

Amazing

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.

Great.

Wow, amazing no one was hurt. What Happened that it skided off?

Nice, crisp shot, great detail

Incredible, just a great pic

Wonderful that no one got hurt. awful to see such a beautiful bird in this condition. great pic for an awful event.

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!

Man there lucky people

Fantastic angle, lighting and...drama - excellent!

The angle really highlights this beautiful aircraft even in this sad state

Poor A346!

Good

November of the prevvy year was a bad month for Airbus. Remember the Etihad A340-500 which smashed thru a wall and ripped its own nose section off? I dunno how things look for this poor lad, but the Etihad one has since been used as a donor, that is she will never take to the skies again.

Poor lass!! As long as no one was hurt, great. Nice pic Stefano

Amazing pic, and whats more amazing is that all passangers got out safely! One thing to note is that the front gear didnt collapse, it is burried in the ground.

Lovely photo but bad ending of a beauty
