So nothing new
Oh shit. Another Korean airline.
Well done to the crew who evacuated the plane without casualties reported.

Seems all off the aeroplane, but its a big fire
Glad it was still on the ground and everyone got out
Wonder if it’s lithium battery related
Damn. The pics were bad. WTH?!
This awful incident is also being discussed here:

Lots of aeroplane crashes this week
from link:
“A US Army official confirmed to the BBC’s US news partner CBS that an Army helicopter was involved in the incident.”
I’m thinking all dead . Plane in pieces and hitting water in the dark. Will be a miracle if anyone survived that
Heli was on training flight . The training went wrong obviously
Probably shouldn’t be training close to civilian airports
Looks like the heli crashed into the jet as both came in to land from the video and the civilian jet exploded in a huge fireball
Sorry to say this is likely unsurvivable
There’s been some real close calls at US airports recently and it’s a matter of time when they do collide and horribly a collision occurred
The water temp is near zero c and wind gusts 35mph
Passengers would not have any life vests on because it was not a planned emergency landing
News said they are starting to pull people out of the water but all have been dead so far
None so far pulled out alive
Due to temp they said a person floating and alive have less than 20 minutes to survive in that water temp
By this time no one is expected to be pulled alive
Yes, too many close calls of late. But a mid air collision is a biggie.
Night training exercise?! Over civilian airspace?!
Yes, falling into freezing waters makes things complicated.
So far, rescue teams have been in the water about two hours. There is talk of fatalities, no survivors yet.
18 bodies pulled so far airport is closed until Friday
Sixty passengers and 4 crew and three crew on the heli apparently

Air Busan fire likely from a lithium power pack
Which is why the airlines insist passengers should carry any lithium battery operated whatchamacallits in their carry on, not in check in luggage. At least on board you can see the fire and do something, but in the hold…

But if this happened in the air it is also a bad thing
Lithium batteries should be restricted to that in your ffone and notebook I guess
No power banks
Of course In the hold it likely will be a catastrophe
