Pause the playback at 22:16:47 and ask for a sign of hands from the audience as to how many believe that the q400 can successfully recover from the split S.
Push play, have fun...
Wholly Owned Crap, Batman!
The animation looks like the left seat pilot was having a seziure.
On the FDR, the left seat pilot pushed the right rudder pedal with over 150 lbs force!
