Re: the CVR. It could be that there is 'chatter' on there which is best away from the public - who knows? Even with the full tape we will almost certainly not have the landing briefing which would normally take place around 30-45 minutes before landing. At least, unless the tape is damaged, the investigation teams will have the whole tape, and they, 'Dani' and 'clearedtocross' are the only people who can try to decide the cause, and there may well be something in the missing minutes which is important and not releasable at the moment. It would be interesting to have a Portuguese version of the transcript as mentioned before since there is doubt about the double translation of some of the words used.

Tempting as it may be to allocate an 'HF' cause here, ALL avenues must be thoroughly explored. It has always been easy to blame a dead crew,
