Take offs are optional landings are mandatoryYes, gravity.
Funny. but Ben Roberts is correct. Something else happened here. This B17 managed to make a landing. It was not a "fall out of the sky" kind of crash. Whatever was wrong with an engine(s) is a minor factor. For some reason this plane got off-course and rolled into a structure, ruptured a fuel tank, then caught fire. Why it couldn't stop or steer after landing is likely part of the investigation.Yes, gravity.
