I thought fuzzy dice were illegal. Or is that just for Ferraris?
It's an amazing coincidence that they overflew for just long enough for the CVR to loop and overwrite itself. It's a good thing I'm not paranoid...
Thank you for this in-depth reply as well as your other replies in this thread. Very enlightening.
I wonder if something asymmetrical could have happened with the flaps? From the news:
