[@violetaaguirre4780]

I don't know why this was one of the hardest episodes 😢to listen to!!

[@lovinglisa3205]

Wow,this was sad and amazing.

[@hemlocksword1216]

I cannot believe the looting, thats horrific.

[@cakemashers1816]

It’s in bad taste. The least horrific thing in this story.

[@u2young4me2]

You guys need to cover the Sylvia likens case in indiana it has been a haunting case and is still brought up today

[@queenramirez0807]

I have so many chills. 😱

I'm familiar with this incident. They think the captain reached out and inadvertently hit the yoke, which disengaged the autopilot. The crew was completely focused on the indicator light, and nobody was monitoring the instruments.

[@foxtrot454]

That is exactly what had happened. Since the crash they have changed the procedures in the cockpit. The captain should have aviated first second navigate thirdly communicate. The flight engineer and the first officer should have been working the problem. The captain should have been flying the plane as this was not Easterns fault this was an error in judgement by Bob Loft. Captain is responsible for everything and anything on board at all times.

I work for FedEx. I used to load and offload planes. All the planes had hell holes in the flight deck that the aircraft maintenance workers would have to squeeze into to fix stuff. Let me tell you that door was a tight fit to get into. no thanks.

[@astridholland6675]

This episode really messed me up! I don't even know why it did more than others on the podcast

[@tarawilson4331]

I've always had a terrible fear of flying!!! So happy I'll never have to get on a plane again!!!
