se dejo caer este avión guiado por control remoto con propósitos de estudio en materia de seguridad. ...........EL LUGAR..... km. 86 carretera federal
Mexicali a San Felipe ... llegando al km. 86 bajamos de la carretera../.. y seguimos conduciendo 5 km. mas hacia el oeste por el desierto de la SALADA
/ sitio donde se efectuó el "simulacro" real de caída de un avión con capacidad para 200 personas / Bueno, no fue simulacro, por que un simulacro solo
es una simulación, aquí el avión se partió en varios pedazos, todo fue real../..los pilotos que salieron piloteando el avión del aeropuerto hasta el
sitio del aterrizaje se aventaron en paracaídas los 4 pilotos, y después de aventarse el avión fue dirigido al lugar por control remoto.../.. Se
estrello el avión intencionalmente para sacar información del incidente y así ver como mejorar las medidas de seguridad ... claro todo se pago por NAT
GEO AND DISCOVERY por primera vez en coordinación../... esto fue el día 27 de abril 2012 ..
Let fall this aircraft guided by remote control for study for safety purposes. ...........THE place... km. 86 federal highway Mexicali to San
Felipe... reaching km. 86 got off the road.../.. and continue driving 5 km. more westward through the desert of the salt / site where was made real
"mock" fall of a plane with capacity for 200 people / well, was not drill, a single simulation is a simulation, here the plane broke into several
pieces, everything was real.../..pilots who were piloting the aircraft from the airport up to the landing site is threw parachute 4 pilots, and after
throwing it the aircraft was directed to the place by control remoto.../... Crashed the plane intentionally to get information of the incident and
thus see how to improve security measures... are all clear payment for NAT GEO AND DISCOVERY for the first time in coordination.../... This was the
day 27 of April 2012...
I dunno - aircraft construction and safety and engineering has been around a long time. Pretty expensive test run - seems extreme and unnecessary.
Wonder if it's a Mexican or USA project for study.

I doubt that anyone would crash a in service plane on purpose it probably was headed for demilation anyway. I agree about the tail section in most
crashes it's usualy the largest intact section left.

I understand it was done by or in conjunction with
National Geographic for a show to come. It also
obviously states that the location was easy and cheap
as compared with a US location. On the LA News
last nite, it was said to have been piloted to a point
then the pilot parachuted out

I've now seen several other videos from different angles of the crash and one of them supposedly shows the pilotos parachuting down to a
predetermined spot.

...and this from MSNBC Travel:
Television producers at the Discovery Channel, Channel 4 in the UK and Pro Sieben in Germany recently crashed a Boeing 727 in the
name of science.
The plane's pilot ejected from the aircraft minutes before the jet, guided remotely, went down in an isolated part of Mexico's Sonoran Desert,
according to a press release from the Discovery Channel.
"Rather than carrying passengers, the plane was packed with scientific experiments, including crash test dummies," the statement said. "Dozens of
cameras recorded the crash from inside the aircraft, on the ground, in chase planes and even on the ejecting pilot's helmet."
It looks like the landing pitch was decidedly nose down, which may account for the forward section tearing off as it did. Maybe the Nomad pilots can
answer this: Could a properly piloted 727 land unharmed on that desert?

"unharmed" ??? No!! My experience with the Laguna Salada over the years is that it is quite soft, even when completely dry. You might get away
with a belly landing, landing gear retracted, but the plane is going to sustain a LOT of damage, and may burst into flames, or just disintegrate upon
impact-------risky stuff, no matter what.
It is impressive to see how fast the plane stops. It did not appear to travel very far after impact. It also stayed relatively intact. I was
impressed. Cant wait to see what happened to the interior.
