Jim lovell,
I thought the primary factor in the Staines crash was the captain retracting the droops instead of raising the undercarriage whilst having just suffered a heart attack. The complete lack of CRM prevented the more junior members of the crew from doing anything about it until far too late. The stick shaker and pusher both activated but capt. disabled them. I think.
