GulfStream,, perhaps you'd be so kind as to provide a link,, I seam unable to find this article on my own. Thanks.
As to your take on their take, I see just two glaring errors; (and I do NOT mean to appear snobbish)
1 - An "engine seperation 2 minutes after take-off" doesn't leave pieces and parts drifting casualy down upon the runway,, on runway heading. This entire flight didn't last 2 minutes.
2 - Pilots who are "looking for a soft spot" don't crash at 70 degrees right wing down and 90 degrees nose low. These guys were NOT in control of this aircraft,, WHEN they lost control is still to be explained.
Your remark about the initial climb angle appears to be spot-on however.
Either that or I'm wrong
