Catastrophic Failure

A catastrophic failure is a sudden and total failure from which recovery is impossible. Catastrophic failures often lead to cascading systems failure. The term is most commonly used for structural failures, but has often been extended to many other disciplines in which total and irrecoverable loss occurs, such as a head crash occurrence on a hard disk drive. Such failures are investigated using the methods of forensic engineering, which aims to isolate the cause or causes of failure. (Wikipedia)

Those pilots never heard of a go around?? Seems like extreme incompetence

Begs the questions:

  1. why try to land 2/3 of the way down the runway?

  2. was that made of paper? Where's the fuselage?

  3. did the vehicle come from inside the plane?

What was it carrying? Looks like a military truck on its side in the third picture.
