Default More flaps?

Here's a more complete version of that video, from our video site:

http://www.alexisparkinn.com/photoga...loaded-172.wmv

This heart-breaking video shows the departure and subsequent crash of a
Cessna 182 in a remote region of Colombia. The pilot was a
director/volunteer for the Bogota Civil Air Patrol. They were transporting
a patient on oxygen and the patient's mother to a hospital in Cali.

The contributor notes: "The first words the pilot spoke at the beginning of
the video instructs the passenger in the middle of the seat, next to the
pilot, to 'Put your feet back and do not touch the pedals for nothing.' We
do not yet know the cause of the accident and probably will never know."

The pilot was the only person to survive, but later died in the hospital.
The burning building at the end is an empty school.
