Turning into a nasty month….

City commissioner says “something happened to the airplane at a location remote to the impact”. Dash cam footage shows the plane coming down at about an 80° angle. Seems pretty clear to me that the tail departed the airplane shortly after takeoff.

So the tail has been recovered in an area different from the crash site?
Or are you basing this on a fuzzy video?

[atc_is_god]

What part of the airplane would you suggest would have found itself in a remote location that would lead to the kind of pitch control issues we are seeing on that video?

I’m drawing upon 30 years of flying and ATC experience. What are you drawing upon?

Airborne less than a minute, banked right, then left, then steep decent to crash site and saying still unable to locate the CVR.

So they haven’t yet revealed which part of the airplane fell off upon takeoff according to that report.

Nothing fell off of it.
Most likely spatial disorientation.
