That's why I want to know if the pilot could've survived his crash.

I also was at Arlington when the accident occurred and witnessed the takeoff, climb, stall & crash. It was a takeoff stall & crash, with the difference from a normal takeoff stall was the extreme climb angle the aircraft climbed at until the stall, I was not close enough to verify the actual position of the controls during the climb and remainder of the airborne time, but from all appearances and discussions at the time was the stick must have been full back, possibly tied back with the seat belt to give the excessive climb angle.
I've seen my share of takeoff stall accidents in my 45+ years of flying for a living and aircraft do not climb that steep unless there is something out of the ordinary causing it.

Too bad the defendants did not call Elbie as an expert witness. I would like to see the court transcripts to better understand what the plaintiff's presented for such a nice settlement/award. I read the NTSB report. It did not confirm the safety belt was around the stick thereby holding it back although from what has been disclosed in recent days here on this list it seems that was the case since no problems were found by the NTSB investigation with the elevator controls otherwise. None of us want to assume it could of otherwise been suicide.
By the way, McDonalds now puts in the cream/creamer and sweetener so the customer does not have to remove the top to do so. If the lid comes off now, we know it was McDonald's fault unless -- unless the customer messes with it. I guess there are cameras on the McD delivery window to record each action being taken for possible litigation use if there is an issue. They probably have to keep each recording for a couple of years. No wonder a fifteen cent cup of coffee costs about a buck now days. Personally, I like my coffee hot and am currently aware enough to know that I should read the outside of the cup that warns about it being hot. My fault if I burn my mouth and I take tiny sips until it cools a bit.
