is anybody even considering a potential sensor problem?
Did you read the report?
First off, they bent the tube. (and broke the landing gear) They hit hard enough to bend the ac, and didnt realize a difference?
Second, other than the crash sensor shutting down the FDR/CVR, there is no real time indicator of the G force avail to the drivers.
There was most certainly a problem with the sensors, both of them in the front seats.
