Hopefully the pilots come out ok. It's a miracle they're alive to be taken to the hospital

Crash can mean a lot of things in aviation. If the crew were recovered by EMS personnel and taken to a hospital then it's probably not the "plane crash" you first envisioned.
Thanks to nebulous media headlines. |

Must have been a rough landing. According to that tracker it still exists and was moved from the runway.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Must have been a rough landing. According to that tracker it still exists and was moved from the runway. "Having dropped the substances, flight tracking data suggests that the aircraft began to climb out of the area as it had many times previously. However, this time the Boeing 737 only managed to reach around 1,800ft before crashing in the vicinity of the fire it had been fighting." |

I was much less interested in the big fire planes when I found out they filled them on the ground
 The idea of a 737 skimming a lake was blowing my mind. Be interesting to see what comes of the crash investigation. Watching vids of the flying these guys do I’m amazed there aren’t more issues. |

Fuuudge.
2 were lost in a heli crash in Chile this weekend. Coulson is one of these biggest tanker contractors in the US. They are common all around the US during fire season. The air crew is probably American. Hope they are okay. |

Glad to hear they survived. I had a friend/coworker pass away on a firefighting C-130 from Coulson that crashed in Australia about 3 years ago.
RIP Rick |

The pilot of that aircraft is the brother of one of my good friends here (Boyd).
I haven't seen Boyd yet since the crash, but he has talked to his brother briefly right after the crash. Hopefully, he can give me some info. Boyd himself also flew the 737 fire bomber over there in Australia. |
