C-5 crash, was Runway Incursion-Near Miss In Florida
My bad... the Air Force removed the video from this site too, though a
summary of the accident board's findings is still there. If anyone is
interested, let me know and I'll email the video to you. It is as I said a
computer recreation of the crash using the flight data recorder data, and
has the cockpit voice recorder audio too. It's very interesting, but it's a
6.97mb file.

Actually the main cause was shutting down one inboard engine that had a
thrust reverser unstowed light, then when they pulled all the throttles
back
to idle to begin their descent, whoever was manipulating the throttles
mixed
up which engine was shut down and left the good inboard engine throttle at
idle the whole way down, advancing the throttle to the shut-down engine
when
they needed power. The heavily loaded jet couldn't keep its airspeed up on
the thrust of only two engines.
Here's a computer recreation of the accident, which the Air Force had
removed from YouTube claiming copyright infringement, so I don't know how
long it'll be available he
