me either, but you and I are really starting to whiz over semantics, condition initiated by a relatively benign cause, blade or disc, part of the same component failed, severing the three hydraulic lines, basically rendering the plane uncontrollable, lives were saved by the incredible ad libbing of some pretty good pilots, the plane was in an a death spiral until they started messing with the thrust, easy for me to say but I think if the power were reduced separately instead of simultaneously right before impact, it might have saved a few more, but it's crazy to Monday morning qb something like that, I've seen that scenario replicated in the sim a few times, and even knowing it's coming it's ugly, I salute those guys every time I think about it
