While were at it, my comment about the new york airbus tragedy - I wonder how he would have fared had he tried to prevent further yaw instead of what I believe he might have actually tried - and that is 'trying to pick the bloody wing up' with rudder, which will almost certainly put breaking strains on the fin. Pound to a penny he employed quasi-stall recovery technique and overcooked it.
