Hi all,

Lots of mention of windshear but not much about vortex wake. COULD explain a wing drop. Seen it many times from the tower though I would add that it SHOULD NOT cause an incident like this if the a/c was in all other ways flying normally.

In response to so many other posts; most of the reporting from the press, from what I've seen, has been absolute rot. With regards to all the speculation, sorry folks, human nature and you ain't gonna stop it. If you don't like it I suggest you wait on the AAIB website instead of sitting on a RUMOUR website.

Best wishes to all on board and ground personnel involved.

CR.
