Oh . . . I didn't realize that movie was an EXACT depiction of what EXACTLY happened . . . Especially since the survivors of that crash were able to recount what happened. I'm just saying, for those skeptics . . .

Nobody said that the movie was an exact representation of the actual account and I do agree with you that we will never know what took place on the ill fated flight. None of us have ever heard the CVR recording and more than likely never will; however, short of some mass government cover up (*sarcasm*) I'm sure that the "Dirka Dirka" cries on the recorder at the final moments before impact were a clear indication that sadly "they" were still the ones in control.

Must've been sorta morbid to fly a plane with a dead guy next to you....

I do it all the time...no thing. Hell, sometimes I sit there like I've had a stroke when the other guy is working.

The guy who landed the King Air owned it, and had done a couple of lessons to learn the basics on it according to MSNBC. Now it did say he really hadn't done much flying in 18 years (150 hrs tt) so to do bring it in safely was a job well done.

Yeah, it was really hard for the NTSB to watch the FDR and see they rolled the plane. People like you scare me, you can't face reality.

And yes, I said towel head, and yes, I stand by that description, if you're offended, move to some other country.

Ha ha. I truly agree with your description, but be careful. I said the words "R-g H--d" in a post during the Christmas holidays and wound up getting banned for an entire month!

Hopefully this guy was honest on all his medicals. We're all going to pay for it if he forgot something....

 

[cheerios2]

can this guy log it? ha

 

[TOOL CRIB]

can this guy log it? ha

S#@$ yeah I would! And if I were the ATC guy I would have logged "dual given" even if he's not a CFI.

As PIC?

I am amazed at both the pilot AND the controller. I think that controller did a fantactic job, and that poor guy must have been scared to death. The fact that he held it together to save his family is outstanding. Good job all around.
