People: Get a 2nd opinion when you add sound to a video clip.

From the report:
The unlocking of the feather during the transonic region resulted in uncommanded feather operation because the external aerodynamic loads on the feather flap
assembly were greater than the capability of the feather actuators to hold the assembly in the unfeathered position with the locks disengaged.

So maybe the copilot thought that he was preparing for the future feathering operation by unlocking it, and he did not think he was initiating the feathering. Usually an "unlock" switch is only a permissive, and it does not initiate the actual operation.

Six Chinese nationals have been indicted as part of an ongoing agriculture espionage case involving the attempted theft of valuable trade secrets from U.S. seed manufacturing companies.

U.S. Attorney Nicholas Klinefeldt announced the indictments Thursday morning in a news statement.

Federal prosecutors announced last week that the men had been accused of traveling across the Midwest to steal millions of dollars in seed technology trade secrets for use at their China-based seed company.
