'Sick squid'
I agree wih Jackonicko, whose journalistic efforts seek no more than the truth and accuracy in this tragedy, and ask you to clarify your perceived support for the somewhat emotional prose posted by 'wallabie'. No-one has criticised the efforts of the late Capt Marty and his crew for their attempts to recover their aircraft from an impossible situation nor belittled them in any other way.
There is, however, great concern at the CRM culture apparently evident from the CVR transcript which may have given rise to a take-off outside Scheduled Performance regulations and which may have contributed to an uncommanded engine shut-down at a critical phase of flight.
