Narrative:
The DC-9 had strayed some 300 miles off course on a flight from Orlando to Cancun. Because the aircraft was low on fuel, the crew chose to divert to Tampico. But when the aircraft was 65 miles out of Tampico, both engines flamed out. When on final for runway 31, the gear was lowered. The sudden drag caused higher rate of descent and resulted in the aircraft touching down 300 meters short of the runway. The nose gear and right main gear collapsed when the aircraft struck concrete plinths of the approach lights.

Even as a kid, I have always been amazed with flight - and yet as magical as flying seems to be - The burning of fossil fuels by the aviation industry is not sustainable! The industry (and each of us) are in fervent denial, even though the industry espouses their green credentials. This charade will be one of the many atrocities that destroys a human habitable world. Though the Earth does not care, WE as the dominant species should! To fly is to massively pollute! . . . and will hasten our own demise. The Sixth great extinction is presently underway. 2024 ... --- ...
