Yes. That’s a famous accident I reference regularly. I’m a multi engine flight instructor.. Pilots shut down the wrong engine in Japan and hit a bridge. Ended up ruining the airline. This video looks like a poorly handled engine failure in a heavy airplane. There will be no survivors and probably deaths of bystanders too.

Yeah that was a shame. Guess he was overwhelmed. Unfortunately.

It’s the copilot pulling back on the joystick all the way down on Air France 447(?) that gets me.

No understanding of basic aerodynamics and needing air flow over the wings to fly?

Yikes 😳
