Is there any investigation into why a lightning strike could have crippled a modern aircraft design?
My take is that the aircraft was NOT crippled. Video of the approach would suggest a relatively stable and normal approach. It would seem, from what I understand, that the aircraft was being flown in direct law (which does not constitute a "crippled aircraft") and that possibly poor technique, again "possibly" from insufficient training/experience by the PF, contributed to the accident.
