Stagger - SKY is coming out with the same inference ('appears to show' etc,etc) - shouldn't really be surprising. If you remember how the Bristol airport issue was reported by the bulk of the media last year. Despite some of them coming to PPRUNE for information concerning the real situation - the majority continued to spout the content of a certain Directors PR exercise. The public thought that certain operators (the ones who stopped landing there) were 'nervous flyers' and believed that the previous overrun events were due to 'windy' conditions - but NOT a SLIPPERY runway! . I'd love to hear a statement from the said Director now about how last years Bristol situation doesn't relate to this accident.

Rainboe - I know its heading into the realms of speculation at this point, but I can't help agree with that scenario as a possibility. I guess we'll have to wait for the FDR data for confirmation of whether there was an attempt at acceleration or not.
