• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Take a look at this web site. The April 1994 Fed Ex one sent shivers up my spine. There's a lot the public is not made aware of. Can you imagine doing a barrel roll at 400 MPH, in a DC-10, while your head is crushed in?

Great find, HD.
Some of those make all the little hairs stand up...skipping to the CVR transcript without knowing the crash outcome can be downright terrifying.
First time I've seen the CVR of the 1979 Air NZ Erebus disaster, too.
 
Need to work through that one, appears to have lots of accidents not accounted for on Wikipedia.
