AW 139 down in Abu Dhabi

To the gentlemen who questionned CFIT, you need to know that this term
mean that a perfecttly flyable aircraft was put into the ground accidently by
his crews, this i`am sure, what i`m not so sure is, does that stand for CONTROLLED FLIGHT INTO TERRAIN or CONTROLLABLE FLIGHT INTO TERRAIN, the second version fit the description a bit better, however, it is obvious that
when a crew put a perfectly flyable aircraft into the ground, they lost control of something.

As for John sitting in the back, but being somewhat, between the 2 guys in the front with a full view of the cockpit, unless they have changed the configuration of that aircraft during the last year, it would have been
impossible for him, A6 BBB was the first AB 139 that came to the company with the Royal Jet colors and with a full VIP interior, wich was a 6 pax configuration, 3 seats in the back+3 aft facing seats, maybe there was divison between the back and the front, but i dont remember, there is not much you could see or interact with this arrangement.
