Hello Gents,

I realize this is now years ago but I was hoping to bring this thread back to life.
As other in here I am also intrigued by the utter lack of info on this accident.
After reading up on it a bit lately, I have also come across the book written by Eduardo Valenciana, one of the surviving cabin crew members - this is a mighty interesting read to say the least. His story makes clear how the Mexican authorities back then pretty much hijacked the investigation and kept the NTSB guys from getting anywhere near the wreckage - while locals were literally looting luggage.

I would be very interested to read the ALPA report on it, has anyone managed to get their hands on that?

Many thanks in advance and apologies again for digging up an old thread.

Bob
