Amazon Prime Air flight crashes in Texas after 6,000ft nosedive

Re: The pilot will be blamed

I supposed if you're not familiar with accident investigations and simply get your information from poorly written media accounts. The NTSB determines causes based on evidence. They don't just blame the pilots out of convenience. If you look at air crash investigative reports they usually have well supported findings.

Re: Sounds like an old problem

Not on the 767. That problem occured on the lower rudder of 747s. Also this wasn't a spiral descent.

Re: I'm going to speculate...

not when on a normal descent path when you're freight is all contained in ULDs.

Re: Please

The reason there was no Mayday was because a catastrophic event occurred causing a nose dive. Contact ATC is not a priority in that situation.

Re: Re. parcels coming loose

A Pitot tube problem would cause an issue with IAS, and their speed was fine. A pitot tube problem would not cause a nose dive.
