Rough outlanding in high corn
Saw that before your posting....wondered how long before a post here......
Russians trying to beat Sully/US.... Still cool, decent landing. Wonder if local PoPo are asking about crop damage...I remember decades ago in "Clay lick PA", a dozen bent corn stalks, owner was asking HUGE bucks for lost revenue...I was part of retrieve crew....I think cash was maybe $100 to end conversation..... How the frig you do a retrieve?!?! Scrap onsite.....you pick up?!?! Glad a decent outcome.....

If they're lucky they might be able to just knock down a few fences and tow it back. The main problem would be if there was a stand of forest between.

There's another, bigger, problem: it was a wheels-up landing. The BBC video clip is, for once, quite informative: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-49355236

No wonder the corn looked so tall.
