Pieter van Vollenhoven told Dutch state television that the way the aircraft fell directly from the sky suggested that its engines might have stalled.
I would like to put the Investigation Board's chairman Mr van Vollenhoven's remarks into perspective.
He is NOT an investigator nor an aviation professional.
He is a member of the royal family (married to the Queen's sister) and somehow it seems to be a honorary job.
It also seems to me that he enjoys being in the spotlight.
Nevertheless he has done it for quite some time and is not much criticized.
Still I think his remarks are premature and more born from a desire to answer questions then from known facts.
Another thing today mentioned on interviews with survivors on dutch TV: they are already contacted by American (sic!) lawyers to be "represented".
