I've just been catching up on this, having not viewed it since the perplexing days immediately following the event. It hasn't taken long to discover what appears to have happened. But why, oh why did it happen? With this level of experience, mistaking the condition leverS with the flap lever in the first instance is almost unbelievable, but then not picking up on it when the flap lever was subsequently moved to the correct position strongly suggests incapacitation to me. Something that wasn't immediately obvious to either participant but was to prove fatal to all concerned. Events like this are a timely reminder to any of us operating these machines to check and double check what is happening around us. Assume nothing as we all know what assumptions are...
