What had seemed a disappearance became a lesson—a map of how modern systems can fail when warning signs, automation, and human response collide over an empty sea.\r\n\r\nThe investigation found that the disaster began with a small, temporary inconsistency in airspeed data, caused by pitot probes blocked by ice crystals. From there, the crew’s control inputs and the failure to recognize a high-altitude stall led to a sustained loss of lift.
