Cargo shift?
Air Bezos?

Here’s the path. Everything looked normal until the last minute or so.

a worn-out 767 is worth how much?
just curious
I read where Anahuac is know for a duck hunting. They also have lots a gators in the swamps a bayous. Having an annual gator fest is a clue.
This was an Amazon Prime cargo plane.
Sad for those crew members and family.
If your package doesn’t come, this could be the problem.
It just fell out of the sky 30 miles from destination. Sad

The recording included the final portion of the flight; however, the quality of the audio is poor.
There are times during the recording when the content of crew discussion is difficult to determine, at other times the content can be determined using advanced audio filtering.
The crew was in communication with air traffic control and were being provided radar vectors for the runway 26L approach into George Bush Intercontinental Airport.
Crew communications consistent with a loss control of the aircraft began approximately 18 seconds prior to the end of the recording.
The flight data recorder arrived at the NTSB’s Recorder Lab Sunday at 11:45 p.m. The memory module was disassembled, cleaned and dried, and download of the data was achieved Monday afternoon. Initial review of the data revealed:
The accident flight was captured, and the FDR contained a total of about 54 hours of data from 17 flights.
There were approximately 350 parameters recorded by the FDR detailing the motion of the aircraft and operation of its engines, flight controls and other systems.
NTSB recorder investigators are currently verifying and validating the FDR data, and the NTSB plans to provide a summary in an investigative update in a few days.
Technical experts in the CVR group will convene in the coming week to review the entire recording and produce a transcript of the accident recording. It will be a time-consuming process to complete the transcript.

From Bloomberg News:
The communications captured on the cockpit sound recorder were “consistent with a loss of control of the aircraft,” according to a press release issued by the National Transportation Safety Board...…..The press release, offering a first glimpse of what happened on the Boeing Co. 767-300 as it was preparing to land at Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport Feb. 23, still doesn’t explain its mysterious, abrupt dive.

They have the voice recorder but say the recording is of "poor quality" -- but the voices are consistent with "loss of control", a coy description, seemingly. The airplane went down much faster than stories suggested previously. It must have been a very violent maneuver. Either it was a violent mechanical problem, or deliberate. Very unlikely to be either weather (microburst) or a load shift.
