Part 6/9:
As the aircraft encountered worsening conditions, the weather radar displayed alarming information — yet the focus of the crew seemed fractured. The captain struggled to manage the rapidly changing parameters of the aircraft, such as failing to recognize critical stall warnings. The stick shaker activated, a clear indicator of an imminent stall, yet no corrective actions were promptly taken.
In the frantic last moments, despite attempts by the air traffic controller to communicate clearer instructions, the aircraft continued on a tragic path. Ethiopian Airlines Flight 409, believed to be overwhelmed by both pilot incapacitation and mismanagement, crashed into the Mediterranean Sea just minutes after takeoff, killing all 90 people on board.
