    This one hit me hard because I imagined being on the plane or putting myself in the position of the pilots who made an egregious error. One moment you’re showing kids the controls and the next it’s life-and-death. Lots of people needlessly died that day. Live for them.

      Another user posted a summary of events that goes into more detail, but if I remember right from another thread the pilots had ~3 opportunities to break out of the dive but failed to do the right things at the right moments. Certainly panic had a part to play.
