    Very lucky that there weren't any cars in the outer lanes as the plane hit.

    I also saw an awful picture of one of the crew floating about online on another forum without prior warning.. Won't share it here out of respect for the victims.

    That's some serious footage. It was still travelling at some speed by the looks when it hit the bridge.
    The nose wheel of the a/c side swipes the car as well...

    They were in the outer lanes, you mean the inner lanes.

    Sky News reporting that faulty brakes may of been the cause.

    I had read pilot error on RTE possibly? Still very early days, most likely a number of factors involved.

    Does this picture appear to show the Aircraft somewhat too level for this final part of the landing,as in too fast an approach ?

    on the site were picture is originally from eyewitnesses say that the plane touched down too late and didn't seem to brake at all...

    http://mreporter.ru/reports/23216 <--here a passenger travelling on previous flight to Prague reports a hard landing (front wheel touch-down was so hard that over-head panels that cover oxygen masks fell on people's heads)
