This is not the NY post, no need for a click bait title, would have been nice to word it slightly different.

Huh? I thought that was a pretty descriptive title. How would you have worded it?

More like the actual post. Crash sounds fatal,  skid off runway sounds Minor.
Don't mind me though

My apologies. Fixed.

How about "Plane skids of runway, crashes into an embankment and stops just short of going into the water."

Not quite... crashing into a bridge in flight is a little different than a dunk. Would've been bad, but not only 5 survivors bad.

Thanks. I am truly indebted to you

FWIU a lot of the fatalities on Air Florida 90 were not from the impact but from the exposure to the freezing water. Obviously this wouldn't be as bad but there would definitely be more injuries and probably quite a few fatalities if it ended in the water in this weather.
