Chilling is an understatement. Its almost impossible to contemplate.
Pilot had no chance. That thing came down like a brick. Just stopped flying.
Had to be the cargo broke loose in the climb. The CG looks so far aft they wouldn't have got 10 feet off the ground if they had actually loaded up and rotated in that shape.
Only other explanation could be some sort of catastrophic control failure I suppose.
RIP to those poor souls.

Glad your friends are OK. Got the good news on my buddy too. He knew the crew though and said they were all wonderful individuals. So sorry for the families.

It was horrible. Understand members of the crew had wives and kids. Let us hope they will be cared for ... is the operator ALPA?
As is sometimes the case, the losses amount to workman's compensation claims which are completely inadequate for the need. I do appreciate our life insurance and ALPA's inclusion in our contract.

They are not a unionized carrier. I just talked to my friend who works there and they are about to go fly. They are doing as good as they can be right now.

Remember when the union said a 42% pay raise was unreal ... Or not realistic
Delta Air Lines boosts CEO pay 42 percent

After a long week in and out of MSP and DTW the story gets old and maybe I am jaded! Back to LAX and some very good flight attendants!
