True or False?

[queencharlotte]

Have you seen a truly amazing video of a jumbo jet landing in the USA with non-engaged nose wheel landing on a flat bed truck? It looks so very real, but somehow I don`t believe it. Surely the truck would have been squashed, and it would have made the TV news for days and days. Is this a particularly clever trick?

i think iknow what you mean, i;ve seen that somewhere and its not real

seems real, and it was on telly too unless this is all a very eleborate hoax

as to the answer... I guess the front part of the plane is much the lightest bit. You could probably put a toy truck under the front wheel of a tricycle without wrecking it.

[mccfluff]

lol its a fake

it was a viral advert for a truck wasn't it ?

They all talk like actors do in shampoo adverts. Lucky they had all those cameras suitably placed too.

I don't believe it.

I've seen this it's very good camera trickery isn't it, I don't believe for a minute it's real.

fair enough, it is indeed an elaborate hoax

sorry, "ad"

[rockyracoon]

It's 'reported' by a news channel that's not got it's name splashed all over the screen!

a 747 lands at around 140mph on a good day more on a bad day i cant see a truck reaching that speed and all in all to much of something going wrong and causing a deadly cock up nothing wrong with a plane landing without a nose wheel its done prob weekly somewhere i the world

[jacksprat16]

looking at the video which i should have done to start with its not a 747 jumbo its an MD11 and its obviously a CGI video spoof

Thanks everyone - amazingly convincing, though.
