With today’s technology, crash investigators have more and more data to review to determine why a perfectly-flying airplane suddenly crashes. Their latest review of Continental 3407 relied heavily on that data to determine that the crew, not ice or weather, was a key ingredient that led to the crash. That crash killed 49 people in Buffalo, NY.
Quoting parts of the report, the NTSB found Capt. Marvin Renslow fought the plane's system to recover from a stall. The captain had three chances to prevent the crash and failed each time.
