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.

.....just observations from someone who really doesn't know what could (or
should)
be going on inside the cockpit at that time. It'd be interesting to hear a
translation
of "commentary" from the flight crew during this.:-) Back during my boat
racing days
there was a short standard phrase we used when the boat blew over (flipped).
It
was only 2 words but it was really all we had time for anyway. The Chinese
version
may be more colorful.
