It was a little over 20 years ago that I first met Rick in the Mess at Gutersloh; it doesn't seem like 14 since we lost him together with the rest of the crew and passengers. I'm saddened at the latest "no new evidence" line and the irony of such a statement isn't lost on me; there never was enough evidence. I'm sure this isn't the end of the discussion but I do wish that outrageously right of arc theories about conspiracy, hypothetical technical problems etc would go away. As someone recently said, the burden was on the AVMs to demonstrate "no doubt", they did not achieve this.
PS. Like a few people here, I knew exactly what the nature of the task was that day and it has no relevance on the tragic outcome. So racedo, can I suggest that you take your Elvis-found-alive-on-Mars type theory and peddle it somewhere else?
