The way it levelled out just before impact, it looks like ^^ is what the pilot was trying to do. A few hundred more feet and it may have worked.
- I got the feeling like he knew there was no way out, so level it out to try and crash "cleanly".CygnusZero4
- Instinct trying to survive, even though it apparently wasnt possible to survive this.CygnusZero4
- It didn't have much forward speed, I don't think a sideways crash would have been less clean.i_monk
- It had forward speed, enough to take off, but it stalledmonospaced
- and when it stalled it lost most of that forward speed.i_monk
