I have heard murmurings on this side of the world about a French cover up.
Oh, struth....
Does nobody here know and understand
anything about FDRs, CVRs and crash data analysis?
"It's been two days now.... " is so far the dumbest remark I've seen.
It takes time to decode the raw data, and confirm they make any sense.
It's only then you start analysing the data, to try and reconstitute what "may" have happened. And try to correlate CVR and FDR and witness reports and wreckage. And if you're in luck, in the end you may even be able to reconstitute with a reasonable degree of confidence what "actually" happened.
Until then, a bit more decency, and a bit less in the way of conspiracy theories would be welcome.
