Ignoring much of the controvery over the investigaion, the pilot at
Habsheim should get a major chunk of the blame.

The aircraft also actually performed slightly better than book figures.
The aircraft was put in a situation from which it would be impossible
to get away without hitting those trees, whether it was fly by wire
or fly by steel cable.
