I'm thankful it was quick. Falling out of the sky from above 10,000 feet is a long time to contemplate your death.

Re: NewCal Aviation de Havilland Canada DHC-4 Caribou Crashes in Test Flight
it looks as if something heavy like a truck moved aft inside the fuselage upon takeoff, changing the cg position and causing the aircraft to stall

The "calm" voice of the guy points to him being in shock. What a terrible thing to witness. I think he sounds devastated. He was probably kind of speechless but since he was recording felt he had to say something. |

Let me set the record straight: 1. It was indeed a big jet. 2. Teh load must have shifted to the rear. 3. The guy sounded that way because he is Canadian. That's how Canadians sound. Most Canadians teeter at the brink of chronic depression - the cold overcast weather and lack of sunlight does it. |
