One is the just released State Department report on the incident, posted at http://www.state.gov/g/inl/rls/rpt/pir/index.cfm?docid=4397 online. The second link is to chilling video and audio footage from inside the plane's cockpit as the tragedy unfolded -- http://video.ibsys.com/video.cfm?ID=901895&owner=cnn for video-enabled web browsers.
