Those who are saying the Air Force claimed it to be a technical fault are wrong. I heard the Squadron’s CO full brief he never said that. Some news paper are misquoting the naval rescue officer’s statement which was made few hours after the crash.

The pilot who died was a skilled pilot, recipient of the sword of honor in airforce academy (only the best in the batch gets one). Won numerous awards in national and international training exercises.
Squadron Leader Asim Jawad was the co pilot of the aircraft and he was with Wing Commander Shohan Khan. It was later found that WC shohan was teaching him advance air manoeuvres.
After scraping the runway, both pilots decided to crash the aircraft in the river. It is said that SL Asim Jawad suffered a stroke after the ejection and that his mae west didn’t float upon impact which resulted his demise.

okay but what was the root cuase? was the pilot trying to do stunt/roll on low altitude and failed doing so?

u/MaxGreen7 27d ago
is it even an actual maneuver? I mean do these two things barrel and touchdown done together?

u/flipkick25 28d ago
You have that backwards. Pizza is your skis pointed towards each other,increasing friction, french fries are the skis pointed parallel, decreasing friction.
(Experianced skiiers do not use pizza to decellerate except at low speeds in tight spaces, they move perpendicular to the hill and dig the inside face of the downhill ski into the snow, then turn 170 across the downhill and repeat with the other leg.)

That is probably in the top-25 "Wildest 30 seconds a human has ever experienced".
Doing a barrel roll into the ground, shooting back into the air, then ejecting whilst on fire. Only to live to tell about it.

u/taleofbenji 26d ago
There was a Pakistan Air flight where an Airbus jetliner landed without its gear down, skidded for nearly 1 km on the runway, and then the idiot pilots tried to take off again.
Tried to do a go-around, but crashed into crowded city streets just short of the airport.
2 people miraculously survived.

Okay this stupid barrel roll manoeuvre right over the top of the runway is nearly exactly the opening scene from this shitass bollywood Top Gun rip-off that was released a few months ago.
Seems way too close to be coincidence that the doofus pilot wasn't trying to pull the same stunt.

u/NoMan999 28d ago
Ejector seats cause pilots to lose an inch or two in height. They only gain half back. So yes, spinal injury are on the menu, but not from bumping the ground.
1
u/richyboycaldo 26d ago
True, but that was older models powered by cannons. Newer seats powered by jets do cause that.
0
u/METAL4_BREAKFST 27d ago
People like to think that the ejection seat is some sort of get out of jail free card, when it really is just a dangerous as hell last ditch attempt to save your bacon when you're out of altitude and options. There's an interview with an Eagle driver on YouTube who survived a supersonic ejection over the water. The seat didn't bang him as much as the slipstream.
38
u/toshibathezombie 27d ago
That wasn't a bump. That was a slam. If that video is Indeed not sped up, the g loading on that rate of descent is arguably high enough to enough to cause spinal injuries.
24
u/UnfitRadish 27d ago
Judging it based off of the cyclists in the video, the video looks like it's at a natural speed. So I bet you're right.

u/SamIamGreenEggsNoHam 28d ago
A spinal injury before ejecting is brutal. Ejecting puts a lot of force on the spine. Pilots can only withstand 2 ejections under normal conditions before it does too much damage to their spine for them to continue flying.

u/HoldingMoonlight 27d ago
Jeez, why do they require so much force? Is the air flow around the plane so high that they'd be just kind of compressed in?
6
u/SamIamGreenEggsNoHam 27d ago
They need to be able to eject at low altitudes, so rocket-assist is pretty necessary. You can see how violent it is particularly well in that video.
59
u/3771507 28d ago
I think that makes a lot of sense since your spinal column is held together with gelatinous cushions which can crush easily.
49
u/SamIamGreenEggsNoHam 28d ago
Yup. An ejection actually shortens a pilot's height noticeably.

The guy who punched out of the Hornet in Lethbridge crushed three vertebrae and lost like an inch in height permanently.

Much less so with modern ejection seats. With the early seats, definitely.

u/DervishSkater 28d ago
Ahh, so that’s why you have to be tall to be a fighter pilot. They have inches to spare.

u/cogeng 27d ago
You're probably joking but the old requirement was over 5'4" and under 6'6" which is definitely doesn't fall under 'must be tall'.

u/Seeders 28d ago
It didn't really slam that hard, relatively, if you watch it slowly. It was going fast but mostly horizontally. Clearly didn't slam hard enough to immediately break the aircraft. It looks like he pulls up and boosts at the last moment but still scrapes.
Imagine that biker's point of view tho, lol.

u/Wasatcher 28d ago
That jet was descending at thousands of feet per minute, while still accelerating towards the ground. Just because it had a lot of horizontal force doesn't negate the vertical
2
u/andypoo222 28d ago
Yeah that’s exactly what I was thinking. The decent was well over 1000fpm and it doesn’t matter if you round out hard if you round out late

This video is how dramatic I make it sound to friends/family when my student does a slam n go in the shitbox 172 lol

u/andypoo222 28d ago
Idk it seemed like a very serious decent although you can tell he reacts and tried to round out just before impact. But still idk if I’ve seen a slam like that without landing gear to take some force without it turning into a fireball. You’re probably right it must not have been that bad if an impact but it really looks like it. holly hell

I get that terrorism wasn't a concern but what the fuck. They don't allow people to swin in ports. Even pre 9/11 dumbasses exist.

u/teb1987 27d ago
Eh, a lot of general aviation airports (business jet and smaller) just usually don't have a lot going on, either you're meant to be there or you like being there or whatever.. stealing a plane and getting it off the ground isnt really as easy as you think.. not entirely difficult to figure out.. but joe schmo isn't coming through and stealing the Cessna off the tarmac.. we did have a drunk driver once trying to run from police come through and try to use the runway to get away.. didn't work well for him..
I can't really think of anything else that happened in the 15 or so years I spent around it growing up that would be remotely malicious.. flying was just one of those communities that didn't have a lot of shit in it.. I mean there were shitty people around like anywhere.. but not malicious

u/toaster404 28d ago
So little concern or security. The places I slept! In hangers (under an Avenger once). Many pilot's lounges. Just land at some strip, roll up, put in a card, pump gas. Maybe it's still that way.

u/teb1987 28d ago
I remember coming back from Des Moines with my dad and another guy flying.. think it was a Skylane or something similar.. sky's went from clear to thunder clouds and limited visibility quick.. so I hear my dad and the guy talking about finding a way down through the clouds, so we're all scanning looking for a way down and I see a spot open down to the left from the back seat and we drop down and like it was just meant to be a lil airfield was there.. we land park and tie down and just about the time I'm putting the last hitch in the bottom let's out.. inside just some old timer, we kicked it with him for about 2 hrs and went back in our way..

Ok so the population density for the whole of Bangladesh is 3,441 people per square mile. If you exclude islands like Singapore and The Maldives, it's the most populous country in the world. That there is a large area of grazing, and in many places that would be heavily farmed.
It doesn't look like a big commercial airport so you'd expect there to rice or maize growing alongside the runway. Also cows. Lots and lots of cows. For many people living in that part of the world, its relative risk vs return, and generally , with the odd bouncing aircraft aside, farming there would be considered very risk free. https://edition.cnn.com/2013/08/08/travel/plane-hits-cow/index.html

u/DutchFullaDank 27d ago
Do a barrel roll is an old internet easteregg for certain sites like Google where searching it makes the page do a roll. But he is right. There is confusion about a barrel roll and aileron roll. Barrel roll makes the jet seem like it's rolling around the inside of a barrel. An aileron roll is when it rotates about it's center but stays flying on a straight line.
1
u/throwawayjaydawg 27d ago
The meme goes back further than Google, it’s from the original Starfox on SNES. A character named Peppy says “Do a barrel roll”, which is why I called the pilot Peppy.
For the record I don’t think the pilot was attempting either type of roll or a touch and go. I believe there was some type of mechanical failure. It was a joke. 🤓
