Ex-Navy driver who thought he was landing on an aircraft carrier?

Absolutely incredible that no one died in the Delta crash yesterday. This video is incredible.

New closeup footage of the crash:

There's new footage of the crash that appears to be clearer than what was initially posted online. I can't find a direct link since it was posted in a discord server I frequent.

It looked like the plane was coming in hot with no flaps. The landing was so fast and rough that the rear gears bounced and then one of them appear to have collapsed from the weight of the aircraft, which resulted in the wing making contact with the runway surface and flipping the aircraft.

Assuming this image from the Toronto Pearson thread is as accurate as described, it looks to be properly configured.

This shot was from Jerry Yang on facebook right before the crash and the gear is down:

As someone quipped on another forum; 'he nailed the third wire' (reference to carrier landings).

Another Sunwing operational melt-down. These guy have had some staggering double digit hour delays since Wednesday.
