Airline Pilot Creates Realistic Animation of Flight 214 Crash

There was no clear video of last weekend's tragic Asiana Airlines that killed three passengers, but animation artists were quick to provide crude renderings of what actually happened. Now a former airline pilot and current forensic animator has created the most realistic and well-researched look yet of what most likely happened last Saturday at San Francisco International Airport.

The video was created by former Boeing 727 pilot Jack Suchocki, who also happens to be a talented 3D animator who founded Eyewitness Animations, a company that provides aviation accident reconstruction animations for legal investigations. He told us he used Autodesk's pro animation software 3DS Max to create this super-realistic view of the crash landing.
