Hmmmm. From the reports it sounds like perhaps the flaps failed to deploy properly. Like maybe one side was frozen shut and the
other side deployed sending the aircraft out of control. The "strange sound" witnesses reported is interesting as well, like a prop was lost
and one of the engines was racing or something. Will be interesting to find out what the NTSB finds on this one.
