Aircraft pilots, even highly trained ones, overreact in non standard situations. The simulation argues that the plane could not have been significantly damaged by the tree. The simulation doesn't say anything about pilot's reaction to the collision event. An attempt by the pilot to compensate for impact is more likely to have caused damaged than the impact itself.
- p_l 14y agoThe simulation also didn't agree with facts, without proposing anything regarding why it the plane might end up where it was found. Pity the facts, right?
- seele 14y agoAnd which specific facts the simulation didn't agree with?
- seele 14y agoThe overreaction of pilots couldn't make 100 tons of steel to break into pieces 30 meters over the ground.
- p_l 14y agoExcept it's not 100 tons of steel. It's a very delicate structure of tons of parts, and the part that got damaged wasn't the most resilient (nor did it account for 100 tons of steel). Breaking into pieces happened when the whole plane hit the ground in the worst possible (for airliner) way - upside down. At over 180 km/h.
