Tashdo,

co-pilot Murat Sezer was alive for app. 40 mins but stuck in there. Both say they saw him from the glareshield and heared, then warned people afterwards but no one from first-aid moved to rescue him...just for criminal purposes! I probably wouldnt care air-law at that time but is it possible to leave him die like that ? Or does the law say dont touch anything in the cockpit, nor a switch or the crew...I couldnt see any human approach in there !!!
I find that VERY hard to believe. I have seen rescue teams in action, granted not in AMS but elsewhere, I was a fireman for a while myself, but if they are pointed so someone badly hurt or critically injured by ANYONE, bystanders, whoever, they'll move hell and high water to get them out. Unless there was a real misunderstanding between them and the witnesses, and particularly with regard of the time frame you mention, I regard this account as highly questionable.

All: I heard on the news that Dutch officials confirmed that according to FDR both engines had failed before the crash. Can anyone confirm this?

Best regards
