I don't imagine anyone could've survived that. Not even Maverick was able to pull out of a stall like that.

My wife was looking over my shoulder and said "Jeeze, seems like there's an awful lot of aviation accidents lately" so I pulled up the FlightAware site and showed her how many planes are in the air right now. Her: "You're shitting me!" Me: "Nope. When you think of it, it's amazing there aren't MORE accidents." Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||

Oh damn. Shit like that is what worries me when we fly. We are flying out tomorrow. I need something to calm my nerves now. _______________________ P228 - West German | |||

ATR 72-500 according to a Wikipedia entry on this crash. Wikipedia article. This space intentionally left blank. | |||

Our SF pilots will probably weigh in on this soon and correct me, but I thought that a flat spin like shown in the video is very difficult to recover from. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

So, not being a pilot, what causes a plane to go into a flat spin like that? Loss of power? "If Gun Control worked, Chicago would look like Mayberry, not Thunderdome" - Cam Edwards | |||

^Also not a pilot, but my understanding is that multi-engine planes are susceptible to flat spins, and difficult to recover from. Perhaps an asymmetrical thrust situation? | |||

Mechanical failure and/or pilot error. Real pilots will be along soon to give a more thorough nuanced answer, but it really boils down to this. Bad day for everybody involved. | |||

I rather think the missing right elevator had something to do with it, but what do I know? _________________________ "Age does not bring wisdom. Often it merely changes simple stupidity into arrogant conceit. It's only advantage, so far as I have been able to see, is that it spans change. A young person sees the world as a still picture, immutable. An old person has had his nose rubbed in changes and more changes and still more changes so many times that that he knows it is a moving picture, forever changing. He may not like it--probably doesn't; I don't--but he knows it's so, and knowing is the first step in coping with it." Robert Heinlein | |||

According to this, the center gravity of the aircraft shifts too far rearward. Perhaps a load in the cargo hold wasn't properly secured and shifted backwards? This space intentionally left blank. | |||

Where do you see that? | |||
