When a series of problems occurs, sometimes basic checklists are ignored as everyone tries to solve the root cause - and nobody is left flying the plane... :-( |

The Gimli Glider ............... and also the Hudson River event of a few years ago ............... are great examples of old-time flying. |

The preliminary findings just released conclude that the plane was put into a fantastically steep climb then stalled and crashed. |
