At night, over an ocean, in a storm, with no visibility, in possibly significant turbulance and responsible for the lives of 300 people. I doubt knowledge acquired from an episode of "Air Crash Investigation" is very useful in such a case.
Watching documentaries or looking up stuff on the internet does not make anyone an expert. That Bonin guy, as inexperienced as he was, knows far, far more about piloting airplanes than you do.
- nikcub 15y agoye no shit, and I am thinking through how the situation gets to a point where he can forget all that and keep pulling the stick back up
- mtts 15y agoHe panicked. What's there not to understand?
- nikcub 15y agohow about why do people who have been thoroughly trained and have spent thousands of hours at the control suddenly forget everything they know in an emergency? I am pretty certain that when the full report here is released it won't stop at 'he panicked' and that this accident will have ramifications for the entire industry
