Has anyone questioned the ridiculous speeds (380 knots at one stage) while this plane was struggling? Were the flaps retracted, if not how could the airframe have survived this onslaught (correct me if I'm wrong max speed flap 5 is 180 knots). If the flaps were retracted, wouldn't that be suicidal at 900 feet?
