Cause of crash: Pilots weren't flying the plane

RE: Hillys Comment 606

You might want to read through the black box and VDR info, available on InvestigateUdom.com ,( 2nd page proof and evidence) neither pilot was flying the plane for 14 seconds after a go around was announced, engines were left in idle -think that had more of a bearing on the actual crash than wind shear. Lack of adequate emergency training might be the actual root cause explanation.
( Incidentally, FYI the Investigate Udom movement and website is perpetuated by a woman and so am I. )
