Yeah, I was not ready for that audio. It happened so fast, but you could still tell how aware the pilots were of how unrecoverable the situation was. RIP, they didn't deserve to go out like that.

It was more or less in free fall the entire time. Likely reached terminal velocity. They tried to roll the plane to get lift back which is why the plane is sideways, but they couldn't pitch it back up.

One of the current theories is the stabilizers on the tail got obstructed or damaged by ice. They detached at some point before the crash. They were found a few miles away from the crash site today.

Why does it seem like someone is trying to cover that up?

Yeah, I've heard that too. The last few reports from their transponder seem to support that, since they are all the exact same value. I'll be interested to see if the NTSB is able to extrapolate the actual rate of descent for the last few seconds. It doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things, but it's certainly interesting.

That's not ringing a bell for me. Do you remember any more info?

Yeah, I’ve seen all the warnings. I’m more than happy to avoid it.

It's nothing I didn't hear in A&P school. We studied several aircraft accidents including black box recordings.

You know the fatal CVR recording that struck me the most? Korean Air 8509. That one is truly chilling.

Didn't even take out the power lines. Also the copilot was from Palm Beach, there's s news clip with her from 2023 at the high school like 2 miles from the crash site

You’re behaving like trash bruh.
