First I must thank Marty without whom I couldn't show this and two if its somewhere else here posted I apologize. Now with that taken care of...... be amazed!! I sure as hell was!! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9SHrW6V5fU]YouTube - plane loses wing[/ame]
Just wow... was that part of the trick? It is amazing how the pilot handled the plane after it lost the wing.
Fake, but it was kinda cool if it had really happened. If it had really happened, it would've been all over the news. So, you're in court and someone has video tape of you doing something bad. How can you be sure the tape is real?
Fake? Hmmmm Israeli Pilot Land Saftly With One Wing - Video I say again its all in the hands of the pilot and I want the two good ones!!
It's a pretty good animation from what I can tell. Not perfect, but better than usually seen in video like this. I'm guessing it originated from a college somewhere in a TV production class.

Other than that I thought they did a really good job of selling it.
My wife and I both watched this one day last week. We agreed that it is probably fake. The resolution conienently gets bad during key moments, especially as the landing is happening. Also, IF the pilot brought the plane around as violently as he did right at the landing point, the plane wouldve bounced MUCH more and the energy from the rotation of the prop at the point of contact with the ground is almost non-existent in the film. Still very well done. IF it was real, man that is one cool-cucumber behind the stick....
hehe... my first and only reaction was that it was fake, the landing really gave it away... looked like one of those toy airplanes. Still the pilot opening the hatch and the guy running towards the plane were nice touches.
