Wow, just watched the Nova program on AF 447 (streaming on NetFlix). Well done show -- as well as a news outlet could do hiring it's own investigators to double-check and reinterpret the data that the French accident investigation has provided (and adding in some of their own evidence). Highly recommend watching it if you have a NetFlix account.
And you're BANNED, asshole. SFO, indeed ... how ARE things in Angeles City these days ??? More to the point -- how's your Mother???
Don't know if this is a NOVA repeat, or gives new information on the flight 447 tragedy. But it's on tomorrow, Feb 16. LINK
"Nothing wrong with the airplane" ... Maybe it's pilot error, maybe it's not. But it ALWAYS comes drifting back to "pilot error" as the human factor inexorably moves up the list of probable cause(s) when they don't know what else to pin it on, doesn't it?? Same ol' song, different verse. It's been the favorite tune of airline companies and aircraft manufacturers since the dawn of commercial flight. Always has been, always will be ... At lea$t it help$ "them" with the impending lawsuit$.
I remember a professor in Naval Safety School saying how easy it is, and how often "they" try to hang the pilot for a 'mishap', regardless of circumstances. He also gave a wonderful counter, saying it could be pilot screening, pilot training, pilot supervision, etc., or a pilot encountering a situation that no reasonable pilot could escape. But that is a tough argument when high priced lawyers smell blood$$$$$. "Punish the monkey, but let the organ grinder go."
