Part 5/7:
As the aircraft neared the runway, it became evident that the approach was irretrievable. Instead of resetting to the standardized go-around procedure, the captain disregarded protocols further by continuing the turn and mismanaging the control stick. Al Alawi, meant to ensure adherence to safety procedures, remained silent, highlighting a concerning lack of crew resource management.
The Inevitable Tragedy
As the plane plummeted, warnings blared in the cockpit, but the pilots, overwhelmed by the chaotic turn of events, were unable to process the threats adequately. In a devastating loss of situational awareness, the aircraft struck the sea at 7:30 PM, killing everyone on board instantly.
