The Larsen crash is just weird.
@@@@@@
When an aircraft crashes due to a stall often the people on the plane will suffer broken spines and pass away before they can be reached. With their injuries they are unable to egress and escape.
Stall crash/ spine injuries: Yup, can be expected. What I’m noting in this case tho is the plane is a Piper Cherokee. They have a great stall characteristic. If speed drops they will flatten themselves out and keep doing that all the way to the ground. All the pilot has to do is nothing. To your point, yeah, maybe the deaths came from a hard belly flop but that still doesn’t explain falling out of the sky in the first place.
Another weird one happened yesterday south of Portland, OR. The plane flew straight down. The only way that happens is the pilot shoving/holding the yoke full forward. Front seaters died. Back seat guy survived.
