JW411 what a 'look at me' post. Everyone has said this situation seemed unrecoverable but it's our job to deal with the non normals - that's where we earn the money. Unfortunately these guys lost their lives - if I'd been flying I'd have handled it differently to how it seems they did but given the likely cause would have ended in the same outcome I'm sure.

As people who perform a highly technical, practical job and as people who do this job because of passion it is completely reasonable and understandable that we discuss this, try and learn from it and better understand. I have genuinely learned some extremely useful things from this site - rules of thumb, things I never considered in non normals and airmanship points. Don't try and polarise this thread into some well wishing, mock crash site where everyone tosses their flowers and heart felt messages and snots into their hankies.
