| - | One of the most puzzling aspects of this tragedy is that there was no radio contact with Flight 823 after the crew cancelled the Instrument Flight Plan and went to a Visual Flight Plan at 1802:45. The last radio transmission was the "OK" at 1802:55. | + | It is my opinion that the Flight crew lost control of the aircraft because of the large amounts of thick smoke and intense heat from the fire. |

| - | **"At some point during the descent, the aircraft deviated to the south of Victor 16 but was proceeding approximately parallel to the airway. No reason can be assigned to this deviation...The aircraft appeared to be following a nearby river, in a descent, and was about 8 miles south of the airway (V16) centerline. Three miles further along the flight path, at approximately 1810, the aircraft ws observed about 500 feet above the ground. The aircraft continued to operate at very low altitudes and well to the left of the airway from this point on to the crash."** | ||
