WTF is wrong with that maintenance guy?!?

[NielsC68]

@ILikeCheese747 They were professionals to the end. Listen to the original ATC recordings, the actors actually mimic very well.

@NielsC68 Terribly sad listening to the last ATC stuff. Poor guys faced with an impossible situation. Sucks.

@Kamikuru77 maybe his grey matter is in his testicles...

[krazytyme]

This is so tragic. Those pilots tried so hard, but it was just futile as soon as the horizontal stabilizer in the tail broke.

[mrceebees14]

This was horrendous.

[FLT111]

Does anyone have an idea as to why the elevator tabs flew off when the horizontal stabilizer broke free?

[1kikojr]

@Kamikuru77 what do you mean?

@unholyimage

try flying an md-80 upside down with a jammed stabilizer and virtually no hydraulics.

[Epica124]

@unholyimage Did the plane of the stabilizer faile due to an improperly maintained jack-screw assembly which broke free making it so they could not recover?

[unholyimage]

@aussifrog No probs. I might've had a bit too much scotch that night, and might've been jaded by said moronic YT comments myself. Cheers.

@unholyimage oh right, my bad :P I'm used to ignorant youtube comments haha, was a bit harsh on you sorry.
