3 working engines, crashes and burns....no pilot error. Bullshit

B-17 is the famous American Bomber plane from WORLD WAR 2

So you see how they cover up for everyone.. he’s sure huh.. it was due to improper repairs and pilot feather a working engine. So homemade repairs and pilot error.

I hope that hitting the ILS antenna stanchion (post) after landing short of the runway (changing the direction of the albeit short landed aircraft) isn't the actual cause of the final results.

These planes are 80 years old. Dangerous enough for trained crews. They're not designed for passengers.

It was engine #3 that had the bad magneto(which they would have known had they done the mandatory run up before take off), and the pilot shutdown #4 instead. The right wing had no power, and the pilot and copilot were too slow to figure it out, too close to the ground. Errors.
