		yardstick 3 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Preliminary report into Air India crash released The reasoning I’ve heard is: it didn’t matter anymore, the damage was already done and there was no way any attempts at recovering from it would have been successful.

There would have been an inaction on the part of the pilot that did this, but it is not mentioned in the CVR transcript.

Hard to believe the other pilot wouldn’t have said anything.

Recovering the airplane and have some people survive the crash are two very different things.
