The video shows the last few minutes of the ill- fated flight that took off
from North Carolina and was heading to Ohio.
Clearly, you can see the plane was spinning and see- sawing before it went
down.
The transcript of the cockpit voice recorder was part of the released
document... and apparently the crew was testing the plane's handling in a
stall-- which is a normal test procedure.
Three minutes before the crash, the pilot believed the plane was under
control... saying "OK. We're getting back to normal here."
But apparently the crew was confused shortly after that... as the pilot said
"That's a stall right there. It ain't no shaker."
Then just seconds before the crash it's evident the left rudder failed.))
