Where do you find this stuff :-)

Emails from fellow airline managers and employees. We pass this stuff around like crazy. I could put stuff up here about planes that'd turn your hair white. ;-))
Most of these photos came from what we call "ADITS" (Aircraft Damage Investigations). When an aircraft gets damaged, we do a complete internal investigation, with photos etc.

This is what happens when you fill the all metric 767 using the english specfic gravity factor for kerosene. A very expensive glider. :-) Flamed out at 26,000' over Manitoba. Thank God the pilot's hobby was gliding. :) Can't say much about his math skills though. :-) Only slight damage to noise and landing gear.

Is that the old now defunct race track in Gimli?

The fueling company and flight dispatch should've caught that via examination of the fuel slip and the input figures from dispatch to the cockpit via ACARS.
The pilot probably just ASS-U-ME(d) that everything was okey-dokey and you saw what happened.

What's the story with that small plane (Cessna?) that landed on the frozen lake? Any survivors? Shitty way to go.

They all walked away from it. Total of 3 (pilot, 2 pax). I don't post pictures in which loss of life or grave injury resulted, especially as this was a humorous post. :-)

Ooooh, that's even worse. I wonder what happened to the flight crew? That's an egregious error.

This happened in the early 80's. Captain Pearson flew until he retired in early 90's the Co-pilot I believe still flies for Air Canada.
Like any accident there were lots of small highly improbable incidents that lead to the major problem. So I don't think the flight crew were solely to blame.
Here's a good link for more info: http://www.casa.gov.au/.../fsa/03jul/22-27.pdf
