Granted, I know nothing about flying a plane but I've heard they had that feature turned off. Assuming it's safer and reduces the risk of human error...why?
Still a lot of unknowns about what caused the crash, but one thing was confirmed today.
One of the 16 year old students who died was actually killed as a result of being hit by an emergency fire truck, not as a result of the plane crash. She was covered in flame retardant foam at the time.
What a scary last few minutes of life she must have experienced.
