In summary, there was a discussion on the GD forum about a plane landing short of the runway, but it was deleted due to copyright concerns. However, it has now been resolved and the thread is back open for discussion.

What happened to the " Plane lands short of runway" thread?

It was an interesting and ongoing discussion on the GD Forum and now it looks as if it has completely disappeared.

Did it just fall through the crack in the pavement (sidewalk)?

I asked the same thing. It got deleted.

Apparently, the discussion wasnt going to fly.

Then why not just lock it?

Actually, as the aircraft accident investigation gets under way the discussion would 'fly' as more facts came to light.

Can it not be reinstated?

Your going to land yourself some warning points if you keep this up. (Ok, that's enough bad puns from me, I've got to take off).

The problem was the OP didn't include a citation to the source of the story, and until that person contacts a mentor with that information so we can properly credit the source (and ensure it's not a complete copy and paste of the full story rather than an excerpt of it), it violates copyright guidelines (it was left open pending a response, but I don't think the OP has been online to respond). When we hear from the OP regarding editing that post appropriately to avoid copyright violations, it will reappear. This is a fairly minor issue in terms of the thread and it was likely just an oversight on the part of the OP, which is why I'm publicly responding with the reason for its disappearance, but a fairly major concern for the site as a whole, which is why it is temporarily deleted.

1. What caused the plane to land short of the runway?

The cause of a plane landing short of the runway can vary and is often the result of multiple factors. Some possible reasons could include pilot error, mechanical issues with the plane, adverse weather conditions, or a combination of these factors.

2. Was anyone injured in the incident?

It is possible that passengers and/or crew members may have sustained injuries during a landing that falls short of the runway. The extent of injuries can vary depending on the severity of the incident and the safety protocols followed by the airline.

3. How common are incidents like this?

Fortunately, incidents of planes landing short of the runway are relatively rare. According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), there were 28 runway overrun incidents in the United States in 2019, out of over 24 million commercial flights.

4. What safety measures are in place to prevent planes from landing short of the runway?

To prevent incidents like this from occurring, airlines and airports have strict safety protocols in place. These can include regularly inspecting and maintaining planes, training pilots on emergency procedures, and implementing procedures for safe landings in various weather conditions.

5. What happens after a plane lands short of the runway?

After a plane lands short of the runway, the airline and airport will conduct an investigation to determine the cause of the incident. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) may also get involved in the investigation. Depending on the findings, safety protocols may be updated or revised to prevent similar incidents in the future.
