This is actually a "must-read" piece, in my opinion.
Also read the Samora Machel crash piece which follows it.

A rather long read but a very worthwhile investment of one's time. It's well-written too; the author puts you on the flight deck, seeing, hearing and feeling it all.
Very neatly described... It shows how a well trained, experienced professionals in cabin and tower can achieve...

A very well written article. A must read story where you are taken on the flight by the details given by the author.
