re: That’s some pretty adept keyboard forensic work freeper.
And likely mistaken, as speculation almost always is at this point at after an accident.
Unless the regional authorities succumb to their tendency to put saving face over releasing facts, the causes should be nailed down on this accident pretty quickly.
Really? I’d say the call was right- premature or not. The discussion isn’t about what caused an engine out scenario... but what occurs after an engine goes out, and the remedy at hand. Rudder- full right! Aileron/left- full down! Engine/right- reduce power! Prepare to crash! Looks like the pilot had about a milisecond to make a decision and he was trying to avoid the bridge (road curves toward flight path/approach.) Sometimes you eat the bear... and sometimes the bear eats you.
