That cant be real - the one in Africa was a bit farther off shore. Why does video stop at the tail? Fake.

Do you really think that PPOT would be the first place we would see something so dramatic? It was posted today BTW.

At 7 seconds the plane passes overhead, 7 seconds later the camera is picked up and aimed at the plane, which is still near the overhead position in relation to the camera man. did it pause in the sky while they got the camera out.

It Covers a lot of ground in the 1st seven seconds and very little in the second seven?

Here's the real ocean plane crash:



You may have to log into YouTube and verify age to view.

Edit: It was a hi-jacked 767 that ran out of fuel.

I vote fake.

Hitting the water at landing speed is not much different from hitting land. Airplane breaks apart, fuel leaks, fire, etc.

Not to mention the scale/angles of that video look all wrong.

Of course its fake, what passenger jet can make a u turn that tight in 4 seconds?

The real one is crazy, I saw a video about a couple who survived it.

If you knew you were about to land a plane in the water wouldn't it be smart to put your gear down so the tires would keep you afloat? Just askin!!

Landing with the wheels down is bad. A float plane crashed this weekend and killed 2 after they tried to land on water with the wheels down.

With ALL due respect to those who are affected by this sad event, would YOU fly with a guy who's name was "Brick"? No really , as in going down like a brick.
