00:00The vertical rate of descent on this aircraft that crashed yesterday was exceeding 25,000
00:07foot per minute. When you compare that to the average rate of descent for an airliner that
00:12happens at about 1,500 feet per minute to 2,000 feet per minute, it is extreme, extreme.
00:21I don't even want to think and process what the pilots were going through.
00:27In the last few moments, the pilots had no control of the aircraft. In fact, they were
00:35articulating that to air traffic control and the video is extremely disturbing as a result.
00:43Certainly, the pilots were aware and the passengers were aware of what was going on for a full minute.
00:51I mean, the pilots were speaking all the way to the ground and communicating with air traffic
00:56control. If you start accumulating ice on the leading edge of the wing, it distorts the wing
01:04and it can disturb the airflow over the wing. We call that an aerodynamic stall. So,
01:10a lot to look at for the NTSB and hopefully, hopefully they'll be able to find the contributing
01:18factors to this accident so we can have lessons learned from what occurred.
01:22to the end of the produkt will differ from what happened.
