I’ve spent some time today going through the 508 pages of pdf file of the official report. It includes all the criticisms from Singapore of the draft report, and which show that the Singapore authorities have lost no opportunity to nit pick the detailed findings and conclusions in a way which seems to be designed to disagree rather than to say what the Singaporeans would have said if they had been writing the report. So whilst the report may not have been perfect (and I’m not qualified to judge), I don’t think an unconstructive attack is going to benefit anyone.

Looking at the intro to the official site noted by aviator_38 above, it’s a very clever piece of sophistry designed to deflect the blame away from anything or anyone Singaporean.

I agree with Itman that report brings both SIA and the airport authority to task, and that there were a number of causal factors, the absence of any one of which may have prevented the accident.
