clicker and all

I listened to the CVR, for some reason my player doesn't show any animation.

Every plane with more than one engine that I have ever flown, after a shutdown, you move all the throttles no matter what (exceptions: when needed to use asymetric thrust, or while flying in a situation in which you are only simulating, one is shut down).

I read another article that says the crew only had 4.5 hours of sleep...that is part of the equation.

While I understand a previous brake fire on a heavy landing plane caused one million dollars in damage, worrying about it this time was a false economy.

Training, sleep, a lack of something caused this.

of course, there for the grace of God go I.


I am glad no one was killed.Perhaps "tunnel" vision lead to this.

Any C5 drivers out there? I read an article that says some C5 pilots would have moved all throttles? thoughts?
