An excellent analysis of that flight. Only one short step to the ultimate costs.

Those who Fly. No one lost a cent in that deal but John Q. Oh, and the "Spread". The dilution of cost throughout the Insuror's Market. Them too.

Rumour. It is said that when Captain took back the controls, his foot slipped for half a second off the Right Rudder Pedal, allowing the Heavy to lurch just beyond recovery to port. Roll, nose drop, and oblivion.
