Faulty data misled pilot in Brazil-France crash
The Airbus 330 passenger jet flying from Rio de Janeiro to Paris crashed on June 1, 2009.
A pilot facing faulty data and deafening alarms in an oversea thunderstorm pitched his plane sharply up instead of down as it stalled.
"I don't have control of the plane at all," the pilot said, a minute before it crashed
"It was like a giant pinball machine in there," Goglia said. "You have lights and whistles going off all over the place. Which one do you believe? They have no reference to the sky because it's night and stormy. At the very least, they didn't know what to rely on."
