Air France 447

The Airbus's stall alarm is designed to be impossible to ignore. Yet for the duration of the flight, none of the pilots will mention it, or acknowledge the possibility that the plane has indeed stalled--even though the word "Stall!" will blare through the cockpit 75 times. Throughout, Bonin will keep pulling back on the stick, the exact opposite of what he must do to recover from the stall.


I guess the world is still trying to understand how the co-pilot could have reacted so badly... and why the Robert, with much more experience, was allowing Bonin to fly the craft during the stall?
