Who is "Capt. Pete Thomas", wheeled out by Sky as an "expert"?
Can't answer that, but if he is ever on Mastermind his specialist subject would be 'The Bloody Obvious'.
He is quoted
here:
"Capt Thomas added that while he did not want to speculate on causes, there must have been good reason for putting the craft down on the sea"
and about the pilot:
"He would have utilised the whole crew"
What - the co-pilot as well?
Wonderful.
Just found this from him:
"It was a controlled ditching - more controlled than the recent Hudson River landing.
"It was an informed decision."
So the Hudson ditching was neither under control or an 'informed decision'.
Eh?
