hetfield,

(This time, I'm serious again )
can't remember any aviation accident where FDR and CVR data have leaked to the public only a few days after the event like it happened in this tragical accident.
Some Brazilian friends have talked about the political implications of that accident. The first people to be blamed were the government and the military. And the furore went on growing so much that it had become *the* political issue of the moment.
The release of these - partial - recordings were the political means of throwing water on the fire. They succeded as the public is quite content of the perceived official proof of a *pilot error* and won't ask any further.
We're not *just* the public, are we ?
