“If I was the captain and realized what was about to happen I would have told everyone on board to go to the tail of the aircraft in order to shift the CG back toward the tail and disrupt the dive.”
A little aerodynamics / weight and balance lesson for you:
What you suggest would cause a wing-stall and a quick rotate into a spin which would make the dive to the ground faster.
Of course if the Captain wanted to keep the passengers minds busy for a few minutes before their deaths playing musical chairs, then I guess that your plan would be beneficial....... sarc.
I know that! My reason for it is to throw the co-pilot off a bit.
“What you suggest would cause a wing-stall and a quick rotate into a spin which would make the dive to the ground faster.”
Not if he told everyone to jump up at the precise moment
prior to the stall relieving their weight from the fuselage.
It would have given them time to open the door and get on the
wings so they could jump off just before the aircraft hit
the ground.
