More pix on Reuters. Looks like they landed along the rows of corn as advised. The birds strike again.

Nah, just a straightforward power-less landing. This was the real "Miracle in the cornfield": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United...nes_Flight_232

It will need a big trailer for the retrieve

Saw that before your posting....wondered how long before a post here......
Russians trying to beat Sully/US....
Still cool, decent landing.
Wonder if local PoPo are asking about crop damage...I remember decades ago in "Clay lick PA", a dozen bent corn stalks, owner was asking HUGE bucks for lost revenue...I was part of retrieve crew....I think cash was maybe $100 to end conversation.....
How the frig you do a retrieve?!?!
Scrap onsite.....you pick up?!?!

Glad a decent outcome.....

I've been on that airfield (for the MAKS airshow) and know the area tolerably well. If they're lucky they might be able to just knock down a few fences and tow it back.

The main problem would be if there was a stand of forest between.

There's another, bigger, problem: it was a wheels-up landing. The BBC
video clip is, for once, quite informative:

No wonder the corn looked so tall.
