accident was classic pilot error, no fault was found with the FBW system... The computer was not only not at fault, but it even prevented a catastrophe. The automatic wing leveller kept the wings levelled, even at full stall. It did this so perfectly that when the airplane descended into the trees, both wings were ripped off simultaneously, and the fuselage "landed" straight ahead and perfectly aligned. From the 120 or so passengers, *no* one was killed or even severely injured at the impact! This is a plain miracle. The three deaths of that accident were not killed at impact, but very tragically later: There were two passengers in wheelchairs who couldn't leave the airplane by themselves after the impact. One flight attendant got aware of this after she had left the plane and returned back into the plane to help the two to get out. Tragically, at that moment, the developing fire reached the fuselage and the three were trapped and burnt. Stefan |
