You've gotta wonder about the last two sentences in that news.com.au story, neither of them has any relevance to why the aircraft crashed and are pure speculation. The SMH report (thats an oxymoron) says the same bloody thing.
No wonder the public are scared. Let's be a bit smarter than the media - let's wait for the ATSB report rather than forming opinions without fact.
My condolences to the family and friends of the victims.
