This article misses details. It makes it sound like a simple tailstrike followed by a safe landing and sudden fire. In reality control was lost and the aircraft suffered structural damage. The wing is apparantly broken off. In addition, landing gear and engines separated (note: press reports 'ripped off' but they actually break away by design).

I looked at some pictures; engines are still attached, so that was obviously a mistake somewhere. The Tu-154 looks to have engines raised enough the nacelle wouldn't make contact with the ground. The wing is indeed sheared off at the left. All landing gear have either collapsed or separated. Blood Red Sandman (Talk) (Contribs) 16:44, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The sources! They burn![edit]

That's a metric buttload of sources for such a short article. Extremely discouraging when it comes to reviewing. --Brian McNeil / talk 16:19, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
