Hometown News: Flight 3407 Hearings

The NTSB's hearing into the crash of Flight 3407 continue today. John Krausner, whose daughter Eli [[ Ellie ]] was killed in the crash, was at the hearings and feels the pilots are being wrongfully blamed for the crash. He says the airline should share the blame.

Stall warnings sounded when the plane's landing gear and flaps were extended. The safety board said the plane automatically dipped to gain speed, and Renslow wrongly fought it by pushing the nose up. The plane pitched wildly, and the last sounds on the recorder were the sounds of Shaw screaming.
