Still begs the question, Even if they were in the position where they thought they were, following the track they thought they were on, why could they not see a 12,000ft mountain that they knew, or should have known was some 40 miles away, this in an area of renown brilliant visibility in excess of 100 miles. Sector whiteout, it would appear, explains why they never saw this mountain, but if they had never, as no one else at the time had, heard of sector white out how do you explain a descent without even wondering why they could not see this mountain.??
How can anyone not agree with Mr. Chippindales findings??
