He took 5 minutes to describe what happened within 18 seconds. It's unimaginable the overwhelming pressure those pilots must have felt.

Imagine the stall being so severe that the aircraft told itself "this is impossible" and shuts off the stall warning.

That first officer's panic killed them all.

Absolutely heartbreaking. Another crazy part of this story is that of an italian lady who missed this flight just for being late few minutes, took a flight home the following day and died on a car accident on her way home. Something out of a Final Destination movie..

The first officer disregarded everything he was being told by captain and the relief pilot. He continued stick input even after transferring the controls. He basically went into full panic mode, disregarding chain of command.

It was so frustrating that the relief pilot kept trying to do what might have saved the aircraft only to have the confused, potentially panicking FO yank the controls back from him and doom them all. Very sad, very frustrating incident. You've done a tremendous job educating everyone who's watched this video!

So the computers glitched for a few seconds and the FO panicked, took the controls, but had no idea how manually fly the plane.

The first officer's last words really stuck with me: "This can't be true". I think he said that because the whole scene played out exactly like a bad dream. Maybe it felt like that moment at the end of a nightmare - just before you wake up in a sweat - when you begin to realize what's happening just can't be real. But this time it was...

I can’t imagine what the investigators felt when they found out the pilot flying wasnt giving the controls over, and also kept the plane’s nose up. I also can’t imagine the distress the captain felt when everything clicked in his mind, but was too late to do anything about it…

I was an A330 pilot and this had a huge psychological effect on me when it happened.<br>Eastbound at night over the Atlantic it was hard not to see how you were in the same situation as these guys were,cruising along safely,yet 5 minutes later they were all dead.<br>Rewatching this was honestly harrowing.<br>Sometimes I'm glad I'm retired and thank God I never so much as scratched the paint on an airplane.<br>Praying for you Petter and all my colleagues out there that you stay safe!
