Crockett. I understand from a reliable source that an appeal has been mounted against the judgement this year that found that the plaintiffs did not prove conclusively that the aircraft was deliberately crashed. The plaintiffs case was always that given the technical evidence available, the most likely cause was deliberate pilot action. While the judge had little choice but to accept on the evidence that someone had shoved the 737 into a steep dive, he was not inclined to believe it was a deliberate action.
I believe the appeal will be fought on matters of law rather than fresh technical evidence. I guess it all comes back to Singapore law...
