So now there are two possible versions of this story. The original is dramatic and highly implausible but a number of people took it as true and, without questioning the glaring gaps in it's credibilty laid into someone who had been cynically identified by the orginator hiding behind his apparent anonymity.
The second version has a ring of truth and it has been met with virtual silence (pitch trim excepted). Time will prove which is correct and since the apologies that should be made are clearly not going to be I think it is time to leave this one to the legitimate process that will surely be examining every aspect of this flight and will publish full details to those who work for the company in question.
Time to put this one out of it's misery.
