Your comment about “others on board” strikes a chord: They were relying on a professional pilot to do the right thing and keep them safe. Most pax would have no idea about the risks associated with low visibility/loss of “horizon” situations.
It would appear the pilot shirked that responsibility, and let them down badly.
The “point” when the pax started “having concerns” - probably not until the pilot started swearing or screaming, or they were subjected to unusual G forces and “floating” against their harnesses.
Terrifying to think about.
Easily avoided.
Twist & Shout,
Agreed on many points, but according to the reports a couple on board were/or had purchased the aircraft so must assume some previous experience so possibly major concerns ...
As you said easily avoided, terrible for all.
