Having read all the available reports and Hansard minutes available to the public relating to this crash I felt it was an injustice to find the pilots guilty as they had been. If the pilots flew as has been alleged then they are guilty of misadventure and not negilence because I cannot accept that an experienced flight crew as this crew was would have been negligent to their low altitude and high speed if they were on a joyride then that is a different matter but given the importance of their cargo I doubt they would have ---though I never knew these guys.

Alternatively, I believe that there were anomolies with various mechanical parts or test flights ..although malfunction in general was ruled out as a cause that does not conclude that the pilots therefore were guilty of negligence.

Has any one seen the new report or know where it is posted on the net??
