Doh!

Let me guess, the copilot was yelling Alah Akbar while he was “adjusting his seat.” /sarc

There’s already a thread on this one.
The copilot was fighting the pilot for control. Pilot trying to pull up, copilot trying to dive the aircraft.
Something’s fishy in Mecca.

The copilot was fighting the pilot for control. Pilot trying to pull up, copilot trying to dive the aircraft. I'm sure an enhanced TSA patdown would have prevented this

I am with you. Pilot was probably from Pok-i-stan.

Rumack: You’d better tell the Captain we’ve got to land as soon as we can. This woman has to be gotten to a hospital.
Elaine Dickinson: A hospital? What is it?
Rumack: It’s a big building with patients, but that’s not important right now.

Yeah, the copilot supposedly has almost 1000 hours, you’d think he’d know to pull back on the stick to lift the nose.
Unless when he adjusted the seat a beer can floated out and jammed something...

Everyone who drives a car knows you adjust your seat and the mirrors before you hit the road.
This does sound a bit fishy.
I am no pilot but I watch TV and everyone knows when the plane is headed down, you pull back on the stick.
Sounds intentional on the part of the co-pilot

I mean co-pilot from Pok-i-stan.
Pilot was sane. Co-pilot was some kind of Moslem terrorist.

Co-pilot probably had to go. Indians don’t like indoor toilets or plumbing.

he was just texting his BFF, Allah, and well you know the rest

At least he wasn’t trained enough to flip it over on its back and then dive it straight down.
