Part 7/9:
In the aftermath of the tragedy, investigators meticulously pieced together events by analyzing cockpit voice recorders and flight data.

The captain’s subtle incapacitation was identified, and the first officer's hesitance to intervene was deemed a significant contributor to the catastrophic outcome.
