Maybe it was professional negligence, but assuming nothing else comes out in the report regarding the throttles being closed, do you not agree that in this particular accident, the plane would not have crashed and lives lost had the duff radalt not caused the throttles to be backed off?
For some reason, incompetance, distraction, whatever, the crew didn't notice the loss of airspeed. sadly the cheese holes lined up: they wouldn't have done (in this case) had the radalt performed correctly.
Improving safety is surely about reducing the holes in the cheese?
