Re: TNT Landing

Not far off. According to the crash investigation report they were diverted to East Midlands Airport due to weather conditions. During the latter stages of landing air traffic control relayed a message to them from their company asking them to divert elsewhere. In the process of responding to this message the pilot accidentally knocked off the auto pilot switches and didn't notice until the aircraft clipped the grass and ripped a couple of wheels off. They then diverted to Birmingham and put down as shown above.
