The evidence from the yachtsman was that the aircraft was being flown fast and low towards the Mull. The waypoint change is a fact and if they were not in control of the aircraft then, the change should not have been made. The change was made when they were facing a known rock and in the prevailing weather (go watch the video from the tourists taken only minutes earlier and the evidence of the lighthouse keeper who could see barely yards) the only options that they should have taken were detailed by Day.
The pilots failed to take the actions that they should have done and at the waypoint change they were already negligent.
It might pay to read the MOD statement with an open mind.

There will be no change from the MOD or Ministers, now or in the future.
