Yeah its fly by wire, but the flight controls, and UHF / VHF radios are completly seprate. I work all three systems (and about 20 more) so if you have any questions let me know.

I wasn't suprised when I heard no one on the ground was hurt. Most Air Bases, have a designated punch out point (normally some poor farmers feild), and they check the area and make sure its clear before they punch out.

Atleast, no one was injured or killed. I was happy to see that no one was hurt or injured when the plane crashed either.

Damn buddy, sorry to hear that. Looked like Hydraulics or just the landing gear itself was the culprit, but doesn't sound like Radio problems, unless that is a fly-by-wire plane...I don't know planes..

scroll down some to see the pics.

I was a little worried, when my supervisor called and woke me up. I worked a radio problem on the same jet the night before. I was pretty sure I didn't mess something up, but it will still make you wonder. So I was really releived to hear it didn't look like maintenance messed up.
