‘Terrain! Pull Up! Terrain! Pull Up!’ The plane is supposed to yell that when it is too low.

Being a Boeing the Yoke probably fell off, and it took the pilots time to glue it back on.

"You guys okay?"
"Yeah, just gonna swing through a Starbucks on the way to the airport, thanks."

According to the thumbnail, the Southwest flight almost hit the moon! Close call, indeed...

I'm concerned flying Southwest with my family. Southwest needs to be checking and rechecking their planes and their pilots. That's my family I entrust for them to transport. I'd like to hear from Southwest as to what they're doing to ensure safety????

Props where props are due, the timing and transition by the news crew at 0:30 was pretty badass

Next to an air force base, that's most days

Probably another Boeing issue, where the ceo gets paid $35 mil salary to cut costs

Maybe the pilots are working remotely from home

Did they have it on autopilot? Who was controlling the aircraft?

Nothing to do with the new hiring processes. Nothing at all.

Commercial flying, at least here in the U.S., is a serious crapshoot these days. Count me out.

We are about 15 Mi away from the airport the other morning early one morning there was a jet that flew over our house that was so low it rattled the windows I don't know what kind of plane it was but it was low and loud about 7:30 in the morning

After watching many episodes of Air Disasters on Smithsonian Channel I can say it won't take long to look at the flight data recorder to know exactly their altitude and speed at the time in question.

I know who wasn't flying the plane... a competent pilot. A clear night over a well-lit city ten miles from the airport??? We need answers right now, not months or years from now.

This information is nothing. Could have been anything. Not great reporting

The incompetence starts with the president.
