Yes, I wonder why she took over at low level when by the crew's own testimony the approach was stable, on speed and on glide. If you know why that is, pleas post your information.

No, it was not the result of a bounced landing. There is a video posted earlier in this thread which very clearly shows the plane descending and hitting nosewheel first. Besides, even if it *were* the result of a bounced landing, (it wasn't) that would have been *her* bounced landing. Have you already forgotten that she took over control of the plane at 200-400 feet AGL?

Nope, didn't say that. I have no idea why she took over, but given that the approach was (once again) stable, on speed and on glide, it is odd that she took over.

Really, you're trying to suggest there's some question that she flew the nosewheel into the runway? Have you seen the video? It shows the plane hitting the runway nosewheel first. By her own testimony, as reported by the NTSB. If she didn't fly the nosewheel into the runway, who did?

Uhhh, That's from the NTSB. One of the problems here is that you are *grossly* ignorant about what information had been released publicly. This is a case in point.

Like I've said before, I'm not trying to hang her, not demanding her head on a platter. I am merely responding to previous claims that firing was an unreasonable response to crashing an airplane and that it was being done because she was a woman.
