Very sad... I am interested to know more information about the crash though. I haven't read anything about ejections or the condition of the bodies of those recovered.

A crawler along the bottom of the screen on The Pentagon Channel, yesterday, states that the cause of the crash has been determined to be an imporperly set elevator trim setting which led to a sudden decent into the water. This was determined from recovered parts of the aircraft. No opinion was given as to why/how the improper setting came about.
