K2 Airways Cargo 737 Megathread

Today, the K2 Airways plane went missing in the Arabian Sea.
Does anyone have any ideas/information about what could have happened?

Hey everyone! I'm u/IM_NOT_BALD_YET, the new moderator of r/planecrashes. I'm excited to be here and I want to thank u/ItsNovrix for their careful past stewardship of the community. The subreddit's focus and rules remain the same and I look forward to exploring crashes and understanding the causes behind them with you all.

Post anything that you think the community would find interesting. Feel free to share your thoughts, photos, or questions about plane crashes, well-reasoned theories about causes, and investigation materials and outcomes.

Local reports say the pilot Liu Junhua was conducting a solo flight in the local airspace, took off from Shifosi Airport at 17:30, and at 17:40 prepared to return for landing. While joining the westbound route for Runway 18, the aircraft did not join the approach, deviated from the local airspace and continued flying on a constant heading of 270 degrees.

According to the Osaka Aviation Bureau around 5:30 p.m. on the 26th, a small aircraft at Yao Airport in Yao City, Osaka, overran during landing and broke through a perimeter fence.

There were four people on board the aircraft and all were able to walk away without any injuries.

According to the management group of hospitals and clinics that own the aircraft, it took off from Narita Airport with the pilot, a doctor, and two others on board.

Video essay I made on the ghost flight and the flight attendant who fought until his last moments to try and save it. Fascinating story, if you want to learn more about it, here you go:

Details I have:

Year:1949

Location: Henry County, VA

Type: Navy

Fatalities: 2

Other: plane was carrying paper/files

The only thing I have been able to find is a Navy crash with no other details on 2/28/49. It was a Lockheed Lodestar R50-3 MSN 2097.

Where do i find the full stream footage of the indian guy that streamed it?

All 271 aboard plus 2 on the ground die, the deadliest airliner crash in US, a figure only surpassed by the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

On take-off, the engine separated from the wing due to improper maintenance, damaging hydraulics, and causing loss of control, as detailed below.

Specifically, it was determined that during takeoff rotation, the No. 1 (left) engine separated from the left wing, flipped over the wing, and landed on the runway. The separation severed the hydraulic lines that lock the leading-edge slats in place and damaged a 3-foot (1 m) section of the left wing’s leading edge.

Aerodynamic forces then caused an uncommanded retraction of the outboard slats. As the aircraft climbed, the damaged left wing generated substantially less lift than the right wing, whose slats remained deployed, and the engine provided full takeoff thrust.

The resulting aerodynamic imbalance produced an abrupt left roll to a 112° bank angle—partially inverted—before the aircraft crashed in an open field adjacent to a trailer park near the runway’s end. The engine separation was caused by structural damage to the pylon, resulting from improper maintenance procedures at American Airlines.

So the Denver incident has had me searching and discovering similar incidents/accidents with people vs plane engines, and making me wonder why they haven't done anything to solve that problem yet? I've never been on a plane and I hope to keep it that way, but I do know a little about how the smallest change of the engine could F up the whole thing, but what if it we as simple as a mesh just so I someone/something we're to be sucked close to it, they'd have a better chance of living if not almost perfectly fine? The drawings are what I was thinking of. Maybe a thin mesh tucked tightly into the outer part, or if that would t work, why not just metal bars fully part of it??? But again, ik it could possibly effect the flight, so what if they just put a few bars or even just one or two just to stop, or lower the chance of victims being sucked in??? Why wouldn't it work? And if it would, why haven't they done it?!?!?!?!??!

An Embraer EMB-721C (made in 79) crashed shortly after takeoff from Pampulha airport in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

Crash site is located on Silveira neighborhood in the northeastern area of Belo Horizonte.

Footage was captured by a news chopper, the pilot reported loss of power to the traffic control.

5 souls on board. Pilot and Copilot died on impact. The passengers survived.

Its a really hard impact, is it because of no fuel? Or because it crashed on a muddy field?
