Egypt Air 990 was flying with one faulty elevator accumulator that evening (out of 3).. perfectly fine. Then the #2 accumulator failed. Even test pilots later on in simulators couldn’t control it with two out of three accumulators faulty. The aircraft entered a sharp nose dive, which flamed out both engines. The copilot (alone in the cockpit, the Ca was in the lav) started the dual engine out procedure which involves recycling the fuel control switches (that was the “fuel control switch shutoff”) and just happened to be praying while he was doing it (that was the “God help me” heard on the cvr.) He wasn’t able to save it.

Suicide, my a$$. It was a Boeing cover up, just like TWA 800 and AA 587. The government will go to great lengths to protect an aircraft manufacturer (and a lot more when there is an agenda.) If you don’t know this you’re quite naive.

Don’t believe everything you read in an NTSB report.
