Alive doesn't mean responsive. Just means that he still had a pulse.
Agreed. But who did the f16 pilots see moving about??
As in "slumped over the seat".
my problem is that the voice recorder was "ejected" from its housing. i thought those things were designed to take tremendous abuse.
F16 intercepter pilots said:
They saw two people who they thought were crew members trying to prevent the plane from crashing, a government spokesman said.
The body of a female flight attendant was found in the wreckage of the cockpit, the spokesman said.
Note: they still have not found the pilots body last I heard.
