b) they were detached before impact - quite possible as a previous occurrence with this particular aircraft was under investigation.

To say that there was no evidence is illogical, inaccurate and a disingenuous spin of reality.

As cazatou said earlier,
I agree about the pallet springs but my point was that there is no direct evidence that they caused the crash, but there remains a strong possibility that they might have, and therefore the negligence verdict must be wrong. I think the main problem is the use of the word evidence, It should IMHO only be used for facts which can be proven beyond all reasonable doubt
