  • its pretty bad when a 15 year old knows more of what to do in this situation than a trained pilot...

  • alright, another 15 year old here, self taught myself to fly on a sim (no way I could pass the license test or anything, but i get a lot of it) and even I know, with zero training, NEVER raise the flaps in a stall, I can't even think up a dingle situation where that could help...

  • @comalley0130 Yeah, I'm sixteen and I've played flightsim for quite a while, and raising the flaps in a stall was just idiotic..

  • @xliver4 I suspect the pilot thought that this was a tail plane stall, the correct procedure would be to pull up and add full power..

  • i didnt hear anything.

  • Amazing how all the pilots and especially the controller stay professional and do their jobs considering they all know dozens of people just died...kudos to them.

  • No just the female voice is dead..

  • wow this is chilling...half of the people on the radio talking are now dead....

  • @12cfidan i agree with this

  • @Chowbizful Look at any flight manual. Every single one will say that you don't pull up during a stall. You don't need to fly a plane to know something you fucking idiot.

  • @xliver4 Ja shut up fucking child don't speak if you say things like that, maybe you play flight simulator but you never drove a plane i'm sure ...

  • @xliver4 xD i live 30 seconds away from that crash :'(
