Not much new.
The judiciary investigation continues. 4 survivors declared today in front of the judge for a couple of hours. 2 more will video-conference tomorrow. Also, the technician that looked into the RAT probe heater the night before the accident in Barcelona will tell the judge what he did about it a week from now.
The survivors, some of them declaring for the first time after being hospitalized (one even in induced coma) for a long time, all agreed that there was no "explosions" or "weird noises" or any "unusual events" other than the airplane feeling like it "lacked power" to elevate, rolled steeply side to side and fell.
The new technical commision that will work for the judge, independent of the CIAIAC one, has been formed today. The judge randomly selected 2 pilots with over 15 years of experience from a list of 30 qualified propossed by the official pilots school (federation). Similarly, 2 aviation engineers and 2 maintenance technicians were selected. All 6 members will be ordered by the judge to carry their own technical investigation and inform him of the findings.
The judge still considers indicted the main technician in charge of taking care of the fault discovered by the pilot soon before the accident (RAT probe heater turned on while on the ground) and the chief of maintenance for Spanair. The judge has decided not to consider the actions of the other technician acting as assistant in the "repair" as enough to warrant an indictment, and therefore he has been classified again as a witness.
