There has been some very interesting discussion about hand flying versus automation, disorientation or “somatographic illusion”, and many other topics.
The experts on this thread are very good at describing , from a cockpit perspective, how a pilot can go wrong and crash an airplane on approach or go around. TOGA tap, how engine power can overcome the pilot’s ability/training/awareness/confidence/composure, and all that.

The elephant in the room is the physical evidence of the wreckage, and I would like to hear from the experts who can readily come up with a scenario of how to crash an airplane from the perspective of the cockpit and pilot, and connect those scenarios with the wreckage on the ground, because there is no way I visualize the scenarios discussed creating the results on the ground. The airplane is shredded and scattered over more than 800 meters. What is the explanation for where the wings ended up
?
Is there an expert out there who can connect the dots? ?? ??
