Usually we have to wait for the recovery of a plane's black box before we get an explanation of what caused an aircraft crash. But after seeing video of the moments before a plane crashed in Peru, aviation experts are saying it appeared to stall while coming in to land.
The plane appeared to be making a normal approach but, within a matter of seconds, it crashed.What could be the cause of the crash?"[The pilot had] been coming in too slow.
"Of course, that's the hard part for the police and for the investigators, is try and get the black boxes to find out why this most senior captain allowed the speed to decay on the approach and for the wing to stall," he said. Based on the size of the blaze that followed the crash, he also didn't believe the plane was low on fuel."This is their basic stock in trade, doing these sorts of short routes."
"There are airports where you have to be specially qualified on that airport to go in and out of there," he said."So you have to do really special training to fly in and out of these tricky airports because of these winds. It just moves around all the time."

Experts warn details in Prince Harry’s memoir could threaten Royal securityExperts have warned details revealed in Prince Harry’s tell-all memoir, ‘Spare’, could compromise the security of the Royal Family. “It certainly needs to be looked at, as to what are the kind of effects of these statements, from a intelligence perspective,” former royal protection officer Simon Morgan told Sky News Australia. “And this needs to be going through and saying what influence that is going to actually have on people to do UK assets harm.' Mr Morgan said most troubling are the statements related to Prince Harry’s time serving in Afghanistan and the Taliban’s response. “The fact that, calling the Duke of Sussex a war criminal, he should be tried, as well as kind of being a coward for some of the things that he said in his book that he’s undertaken.”
