All passengers have been reported as safe, with 15 injured people. There are and were active thunderstorms in the area at the time. (www.dhakatribune.com) Más...It will buff out...
Lol.... Spit and Polish!
I'm sure there are mitigating factors, but I'm starting to get the impression that these Dash-8's aren't the strongest in the landing gear department.
" aren't the strongest in the landing gear" - That is an Understatement!
I ask two questions: Is there responsibility in the companies through their management that ultimately fall on the pilots to make decisions about "delaying" a flight until the conditions are safe ?, and ...... the pilots face a dilemma between their overestimation and the pressure from their bosses to "question their experience" thinking about the conservation of their jobs?
