It might not be that. As a 16 year old I flew to Sydney with my dad in 1986. We had multiple problems with our rented aircraft and finished up getting lost over the blue mountains due to a faulty gyroscope. So we called ATC for help and they radar vectored us to Bankstown, where we started an approach. But we started to land long, ran out of runway and dumped the flaps at 50 feet to go round. Piston engines react instantly so we got speed up easily.
But when my dad got us back in to the circuit I could see that he had totally lost it due to stress. ATC called us and asked us to do a 180 degree turn so they could reverse the circuit. He didn't hear them. I thought If I say anything at all he might lose it totally and crash us. Maybe I should just shut up and let him attempt a down wind landing again. Then ATC called again and he missed hearing it so I spoke up Dad they want you to do a U turn. He snapped out of it, did the turn and landed us okay.
I can totally understand the guy in the right hand seat not saying anything even when he sees the pilot in command making mistakes.
A landing in the water might have been preferable. The airframe might have remained more intact and there would be less mechanical damage, resulting in a smaller chance of a fire.
Yeah over Indonesia some years ago I noticed a different aircraft directly under us, going the other way. Obviously flying on autopilot, at the correct location down to the metre. It looks dangerous working that way so I asked a relative of mine who is a commercial pilot. He says he always offsets his trajectory by a mile or so away from the one given by ATC. Still well within the corridor he has to fly within, but far enough away from the center that there won't be a collision if somebody else gets their altitude wrong.
She could keep it in a little bag though. No need to lug a suitcase around. And after many crashes she won't have any opportunity to grab her bags so she is going to be reliant on medical staff on the ground anyway. Since she can always get her insulin from a hospital in SF, is her bag really more important than the child burning to death behind her?
But this one was in summer on a southerly trajectory. Higher temperatures. Investigators may have to look deeper at the hardware and software which controls the engines.
Though my recollection of that event was that the cold temperature had been rejected as a cause of the rollback early in the analysis of the event, but investigators went back to it as a cause because they rejected everything else.
There was a lot of hand waving in that analysis. For a start it contradicted statements from experts right after the crash. Based on established procedures at the time of the crash the fuel never got cold enough for freezing to be an issue.
The only solution I can think of now would be to smuggle him on to a scheduled flight as cargo. Keep it really quiet and cross fingers that nobody accidently shoots it down.
This event suggests that Snowden will not make it out of Russia without taking evasive action. By that I mean he would need to be on an aircraft using falsified flight data, and with transponders switched off. All of which is illegal and likely to get you accidently shot down.
Yeah I know, I am mostly joking but recently a windows admin was talking about their issues with windows clustering and they used terms which I found very familiar from dealing with VMS clustering so I wondered if it had come straight from [DEC|Compaq|HP]. VMS was a friend of mine too. I have a copy right here and an alpha server to run it on.

It might not be as lumpy as that sea wall though.
SpaceX launchers may recover the first stage by a vertical landing down range.
In my hang gliding days a groundloop was when a gust of wind pushes your glider over backwards, usually before takeoff.

No baggage is more important than me, sorry.

Ah good point. I wonder if a bird strike could explain this crash?
My bet is engine failure, similar to BA38.

Its designed for situaions where less cargo is carried on the return trip, so they save space by collapsing the containers.
Some shipping containers collapse for the return trip.

It sort of makes sense because windows is basically VMS.
