Terrifying. A perfectly serviceable aircraft flown into the sea & none of the pilots knew what was going on.

Sounds like some serious design faults if a couple of experienced pilots weren't able to easily understand what was going on? Presumably if you design an aircraft and fill it with men women and children, you would want it to be very straight forward to operate, not one where two/three pilots could "fly it into the sea" like that.
Presumably there were some other factors to consider?
