Default Eastern 980

I know nothing about this crash, or if this story is right or wrong, but I found the story interesting.

This was in Outside Magazine a couple months ago. Gonna be interesting to see who gets control of the box after all of the red tape gets cut.

An Eastern guy wrote a book about it and yes, I have it! Nah nah nah nah nah na! Anyway, you can get it on Amazon and it's a great story. There is a 15 minute video on youtube as well.

Here it is. It's called "The tragedy of flight 980".

NTSB took possession of the box on Jan 4 '17.
