I'm not sure if this is a comprehensive transcript, but it does show a little of the confusion that led to this disaster: http://www.planecrashinfo.com/cvr800819.htm

A few years ago, I had an aircraft call with a smoke/fire indication in the cockpit and I did everything I could to direct him to the nearest field, but the pilot chose to continue to destination. Without knowing all the details, I won't be choosing to fly on that airline in the future.

I really don't mind my holiday being messed up by a precautionary divert due to a faulty indication.

Fly safely, gentlepeople.
