... and could it happen to me or you?
Viewing the video on the Bryant crash makes clear what we all knew from the beginning, the pilot made a quick decision that was not the correct one.
But I'm more amazed at seeing instances where things are clearly not working out over a longer period of time and yet the pilot continues until there is a crash that either injures or kills himself and/or his passengers. What is going on in the mind of highly trained pilots that look at a disaster unfolding in slow motion (time wise) and stay the course when they clearly had options available?
I guess if we had the answer to this, prevention would be easy to realize.
