-800, the media release broadly confirms what I said.
The crew's timely response led to the recovery of the aircraft trajectory within seconds.
There will be other revelations about what the crew were faced with in due course. They will confirm my point about the crew being in no way responsible for the event, and to be congratulated for their handling of it. The system failures were not limited to just the ADIRU, far from it.

The other point I find interesting is the reference to this being a unique event. I believe the QF 30 incident was also unique in many ways. I don't know why Qantas has been the recipient of two unique aviation events in such short order. Maybe it will simply be a case of ****e happens. Maybe not. Luckily they were both handled in exemplary fashion by both the Tech and Cabin crews involved.
