And not to split hairs, but the low/slow fly-by was discussed by airline officials and both captains in a prior briefing that day. The accident was officially caused by descent below obstacle height combined with a delayed application of TOGA power to exit the fly-by. The F.O. was also declared mentally ill for demurring from the above 'explanation'. You are aware that the DFDR presented in court to substantiate the official story was NOT the DFDR from the crashed aircraft, yes? Paul Nixon |

There is certainly something altogether 'odd' about this incident. Graham |
