The aircraft bounces faster than something of that size and weight
would... It's clearly fake.



I'm not so sure. I would say it was faked also, but I've seen a
computer replay of a 757 that porpoised on landing after a very
similar touchdown (and I know this was for real because the copilot
on the airplane showed it to me) and it looked just like that. The
airplane was very seriously damaged, BTW

I'm unsure also. I've seen some fakes and they typically are choppy
and jerky. This one looks almost like it could be real.


There's detail in it that looks pretty convincing as well. Smoke from
the tires, for instance. Also when it's bouncing the perspective of
the airplane looks quite convincing, as opposed to some you might see
where the
spoofer simply animates a still of the airplane.
It's getting so you can't tel what's real anymore!

I know someone who is convinced that the Cessna 620 is an internet
hoax. Me
telling him I can remember it has only convinced him I'm delusional.

The screech from the 1st contact of the main gear seems to arrive at
the camera
too soon for the distance from the observer.......although could be
because of a
"mis-alignment" of the audio and video "tracks". Also, don't the
violent movements
appear to be occurring "faster" than would be expected for an object
of this size.
And the oscillations don't appear natural, but I suppose the crew
would be trying
to slow the plane down by any means possible while being subjected to
up and down motions up to 10 - 15 ft.

Yeah, I thought the same thing exactly ( Though the sound thing got by
me) but as I said, I've seen a computer reconstruction of pretty mush
the smae sort of accident in a slightly larger airplane (757) and the
picture was pretty much the same.
The FO in that airplane showed me the computer reconstruction which had
been made from the FDR. It was an extremely violent incident, he said.
The airplane was quite badly damaged.
