Seems like Australia media today are doing their bit to sensationalise the fact that one RT was inop:

Crashed Brazilian plane 'flew with mechanical fault'

THE Airbus 320 airplane that crashed and burned on landing in Brazil killing some 200 people was flying with a fault in the equipment meant to slow it down, the airline TAM has said.
While they do attribute it to info from TAM, they seem to be doing their best to make it seem like the fact they took off with it inop was what caused the crash
