What the heck happened? Fuel starvation? Doesn't sound like wind shear could have been an issue.


Albeit that they aren't always fully reliable in such matters, eye-
witness reports seem to indicate that in the final moments before
landing, the 777 had a distinct nose-up attitude. Tells me that the
pilot might somehow have got his aerodynamic fundamentals wrong in
those moments of unexpectedness. If he was looking to maximize a
glide, it strikes me as odd that the plane wasn't either level or even
nose-down a touch.
