This crew would be far better off with going-into-fear-induced-stupor option than with what they did. Tragic part is that CM2 believed he was saving himself and everyone else on board with his actions, while they were what killed them.
I disagree ...
Bonin and his co-pilot are telling (to Dubois) that they don't understand what happen and they don't control the plane anymore .. and be sure ...they know what it means !
I don't think someone think he is saving everyone with such arguments !
Actually they hope that Dubois will save everyone (Robert call him frantically) .....
