NTSB determines cause of hard landing at LaGuardia.
2015-07-28 14:31:05| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
NTSB determined that the captain's failed attempt to recover from an unstabilized approach by transferring airplane control at low altitude instead of performing a go-around, caused a hard landing at LaGuardia International Airport in Queens, NY. On July 22, 2013, a Boeing 737, operated as Southwest Airlines flight 345, landed hard, nose-first, on runway 4 at LGA. Of the 144 passengers and 5 crewmembers on board, 8 sustained minor injuries and airplane was substantially damaged.

After investigating a truck-motorcoach collision that resulted in 10 fatalities in Orland, CA, NTSB recommended that motorcoach interiors be designed with improved flammability requirements as well as improved emergency exits, and that event data recorders be installed on commercial trucks and motorcoaches. In the crash, a 2007 Volvo truck-tractor operated by FedEx Freight, Inc. crossed a 58 ft wide median, struck a 2013 Nissan Altima, and then collided head-on with a 2014 Setra motorcoach.
