Incredible
WOW!
I bet the elevators fluttered and disintegrated at the speed they had to have been running after losing 20,000 feet in one minute! Amazing result. The guys showed that if you fly the airplane to the very end, the outcome need not always be fatal.
So many fatal forced landings are caused by a high stalls or very fast touchdowns which could possibly have had a better outcomes with a slow, controlled landing, whether it is into trees, mud, water or anything else for that matter. These guys did it all very well.
I wonder if the bent wing was the result of a high G recovery?
