In the "Estado de Minas"
In Brazil there are more than one group investigating the accident and they are not necessarily people who understand aviation. We have two CPIs (House and Senate Committees), the Federal Police and of course the Air Force (CENIPA) the agency that investigates aiming at prevention. Today in the newspaper Estado de Minas it says that the Federal Police investigators believe that the cause of the accident was not human error because they have interviewed more than 20 pilots and the vast majority said that it was impossible that the two pilots would leave the right motor T/L without moving it to idle. They now want to know from TAM if some maintenance on that plane was done on the day of the accident when the plane flew first from Belo Horizonte to Congonhas with one crew and then from Congonhas to Porto Alegre and back with the new crew that died in the disaster.
