2 years after the disappearance, more of the wreckage were discovered and the flight recorders were retrieved. Later during that year, it was discovered that the aircraft stalled into the ocean as a result of pilot error.

A work mate died in this accident. I talked to her 10 days before the crash. It is so sad!

[ollywright]

I remember that crash very well.
R.I.P to all those who died that night on the Airbus A330

Bonin pulled back on his sidestick, thinking they were over speeding when the complete opposite were true, they were flying to slow because Bonin have stalled the plane, so the plane ✈️ stops flying keeps falling

The stall alarm sounded 28 times in the cockpit but they thought it was a computer error .

There was absolutely no reason for Bonin to pull back on his sidestick, if the sensors were faulty temporarily because of ice on the pitot tubes, then do nothing

Just keep the wings level until the pitot systems becomes unfrozen and the autopilot can be turned back on .

Bonin stalled the plane 228 people are dead, an accident that was completely unnecessary, there was nothing wrong with the plane at all.

On 1 June 2009, the pilots stalled the Airbus A330 serving the flight and then failed to recover, eventually crashing it into the Atlantic Ocean at 02:14 UTC, killing all 228 passengers and crew on board.

I love the cabin recreation even though it’s not accurate

The legend of BONIN. A name that will live forever in infamy. Whenever we screw something up at work, we say we “pulled a BONIN”.

[AnDrEw]

This particular case angers me to my core .

[jsribs]

They finally thought of eliminating the happy music
