Any thread relating to an accident always seems to bring out at least one sanctimonious finger-wagger telling us what not to discuss and how insensitive etc. etc. we are all being.

Such sentiments have been eloquently refuted by more worthy individuals than I. Safety records, crew experience, airline SOPs, airport facilities and so on are all legitimate issues when speculating (yes !) as to what went wrong. Ethnic or cultural issues may be closer to the bone but absent patent racism, there may be some relevance there too.

The record of this board in dissecting accidents accurately and quickly speaks for itself I think. If you object to the tone of such discussions, maybe you should avoid them.
