October 6, 201510 yr That is tough listening to that. Help is far away when you are at cruise altitude and even when you land their are still challenges accessing the flight deck once on the ground. RIP Captain Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me
October 6, 201510 yr That's a terrible and saddening news. Condolences to his family and friends. Glad the co-pilot managed to land in such stressful circumstances though.
