With all due respect moggiee, we can ALL have 20/20 (sorry, 6/6) hindsight, but you weren't there on the flightdeck dealing with the emergency.
I'm sure anyone who knows anything about flying knows about Kegworth, and yes, there WERE clues, but the crew were dealing with the situation in a pressured environment and missed them.
They're human, humans make mistakes sometimes!
The design of the cockpit instrumentation iirc was found to have contributed to the accident also.
It was one of those tragic cases where all the holes lined up. For sure we should look at it, and try to learn lessons from it, but to sit there and judge the actions of the flight crew is non-productive and downright disrespectful!
