Maybe the pilot was crocheting a scarf as well.
Not as monumentally stupid as suggesting a deliberate act, but getting close.
Should have clarified what i was trying to say to the other post, was that even if he did fiddle with the AP though very unlikely, It didn't as far as im aware have any control over pitch anyway so fails to explain the nose down attitude.
I do hope we get some answers from the full investigation but the lack of structural failure and control continuity, does leave not many explinations for the flight path the aircraft took to its resting place.
