Part 7/9:
As the flight moved further away from its appropriate path, alarms signaled the impending danger. Twenty seconds before impact, the aircraft collided headfirst with a cliffside at an altitude of 11,500 feet, leading to the instant death of all on board. The remote location of the crash delayed any immediate search efforts, and it was several days before authorities located the wreckage.
The subsequent investigation painted a grim picture of confusion, overconfidence, and a chilling breakdown in communication. This incident underscored the fatal consequences of a captain's domineering control over cockpit processes, neglecting the valuable input from the first officer.
