It's not footage but that angle of attack is absolutely nuts. I don't think my brain would have been able to process that kind of image out my window if I was a passenger on that plane.

I think you mean angle of descent. Angle of attack is the angle of airflow with respect to the wing.

Not to mention the AoA data was suspect, at least from one of the sensors. That's what caused the chain of errors leading to the MCAS nosediving the plane.

It's especially important, while seeing that sequence starting around 5:20, both the crazy scary angle and the speed of it, to remember the way people defended Boeing and said the pilots could have dealt with it using arguments along the lines of "if they took a step back and though rationally" or "if they read the full procedure manual they have access to" or "if they connected the dots and realized it was similar to other system X".

Those people, pilots included, were thrown to the grounds.

Thanks. That's genuinely scary.
