#1 Hint forget the AN-140 you'd have more luck getting to your destination if you used one of these

Gravity's a bitch.

#3 Sounds like the aircraft was below Vmc (minimal controllable airspeed with one engine out) when they lost an engine. Then the aircraft stalled on the wing with the dead engine and rolled over toward that wing and that was the end. High density altitude from the high air temps just accelerated the process. Inshallah attitude contributed to their demise.

#5 I suppose when one engine quit they poured on coal to the other, accelerating the yaw. Grit in the gas will do that.
