[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wonder what happened to those passengers who were next to land behind the CRJ, I guess they quickly had to reroute, or did they just land as planned? Must have been terrifying for them also.[/quote]

All the planes behind were diverted. If you track AA3130, they went to BWI. Others went to Dulles, and others turned back to their origination airport. [/quote]

The people on board AA3130 would have witnessed this tragedy. I can only imagine what went through their minds.[/quote]

I don’t think they could see it. Passengers reported not knowing why they were being rerouted until texting with relatives or reaching their destination.

If I saw it, I’d keep it to myself so as not to start a panic on board. I would not want to be with 60-250 panicking people in such a small space.

A passenger on that flight stated they didn’t see it but the pilot suddenly ascended which caught everyone by surprised and they were diverted to BWI. [/quote]

I’ve had this happen a couple times over the years landing at DCA - the plane suddenly accelerates during landing and pulls up again to make another approach. It’s unnerving to say the least, it hasn’t happened to me at any other airport and I’ve spoken to others over the years who have experienced it as well.

I do think DCA is a pretty dangerous airport, compared to most others. Not that it’s “dangerous” per se, but relative to other airports. [/quote]
