Bit of a long read this, so won't post the whole thing;

Step by step analysis of the recovered black box recorder, with discussion about what happened at each step, what the pilots did wrong, and ultimately why the plane crashed.

That was pretty intense! Still not afraid to get in a plane though, it's rare that this sort of thing happens.

I find it unbelievable that the inexperienced co pilot didn't think about stalling, or that they both kept ignoring the stall alarm. Seems mad.
