Hummingfrog: I agreed with your comment, initially, then thought...hang on , if a discussion on this topic becomes "taboo", you might as well go and delete most of all the other threads on pprune. The flyBe GPWS incident is a good example. I've read enough on that thread to make me think twice on travelling with flyBe and am glad I did. I can make my own decision about the credibility of a post - a stupid theory based on little facts can be easily distinguised from an informed debate about an incident. Saying that, the media should not be given fuel to speculate - but they'll likely to find stuff out before anyone hits a key on PPRuNE anyway.
I can't help but be intrigued by this crash, and being a fixed wing pilot, I'm fustrated by lack of knowledge about rotary wing oil rig ops to even begin formulating a "best guess". I would be interested in hearing views on this one to be honest.
