Dear Miss Bird

I have to agree with my more experienced ppruners, experience shows us that journalists are very rarely interested in reporting facts objectivley, there is more money to be made by sensationalising things and pointing fingers at those ill equipped to defend themselves.

The majority of states comply with the requirements of ICAO Annex 13 and have an AIB set up with sufficient experience and expertise to make sense of the tangled web of facts that leads to the loss of an aircraft. Their reports are factual, don't (usually) apportion blame, and make recommendations to prevent it happening again, which surely is the whole point. If you want a balanced, factual viewpoint try talking to the Greek AAIB, instead of courting comment from this forum.

I have yet to see any piece of journalism or tv documentary which has made any contribution to air safety.
