My late sister was a respiratory therapist who mainly worked with premature babies.
Yeah, with how indestructible they make these things, with how mangled that is, that gives a good visual illustration of the forces involved, here.
The Eagles are so hood at community outreach, I really hope they can show this brave little hero some love! (I have no doubt they will.)'Daddy, did I save my sister?': Young Philadelphia plane crash victim asks after brain surgery
One of the first things the injured 10-year-old boy asked when he woke up in the hospital was about his little sister and the Super Bowl, he dad says.6abc.com
"He asked me, 'Daddy, what's today?' I was like, 'Monday.' 'OK, wait. We didn't play yesterday did we?' 'No, you didn't miss the Super Bowl,'" Andre said, describing his son as a die-hard Eagles fan.
He was also concerned for his little sister.
"It had me crying," Andre said, recalling when Trey asked, "Daddy, did I save my sister?"
"'You told us to get down. I was just trying to help my sister.. next thing I know, I thought I died,'" Andre said his son told him in the hospital.

In this case? I doubt it.
Are you thinking that the pilots just became confused and inadvertently stalled the plane? Possible I suppose, but it seems unlikely. I am betting more on some mechanical fault or perhaps load shift maybe. Is there anything large enough that could have gotten loose inside the aircraft and quickly rolled to the back of the airplane on take off? I don't know.
Full fuel tanks and an oxygen tanks on board, while maybe not contributing to the cause of the malfunction, must have quickly turned the aircraft into an accidental incendiary device.
I am with you on the oxygen tank theory. Something to do with the airplane pressurizing on ascent with, possibly a full tank of pressurized oxygen? Not sure, but this is based on one of the video's I watched....I thought the airplane was a fire ball in the air, before the free fall.
I agree. I sure hope they can make sense out of the wreckage and figure things out.
I agree- the NTSB will get to the bottom of it: I watch Air Disasters on the Smithsonian channel and believe me they are the best in the world at finding the cause of a crash. They work hard and they leave no stone unturned. Unfortunately this week has been a bad week for crashes so they will be very busy.
