MSN = Make Stuff News
I have no idea why msn chooses to show a photo of a B773 to illustrate the story when the aircraft involved is a Dash 8.
Sunday’s ABC Nightly News showed the video, then breathlessly identified the aircraft as an “express jet”, whatever that is.
Maybe because they are Not in it for the 'accuracy'. Publish or perish, gone tomorrow anyway.
Sometimes it seems they just use a "file photo" when they have no clue as to the actual aircraft. Never mind doing any real journalistic fact finding.
Looks like the wheel bearing is cooked as well..
