All five asleep

I have a simulation, produced for the USAF on what really happened, but to put it in a nutshell, they did the Manchester thing, and shut down the wrong engine.

They were low on speed and altitude, and decided to reduce the flaps, but was too late. Nose pitched up, and the tail hit the ground and broke off.

I can email you the simulation, just yell out on

If you did not believe in CRM before, you will after seeing this. Three qualified pilots and two engineers, who allsat there and watched the whole sorry mess.
