Surely this thread has now reached its conclusion?
We have read all the arguments and know many of the facts that led to the accident. Some of us have seen the wreckage (myself included) and it is a sad sight I can tell you.
Why don't we now wait for the final report before starting these discussions again? I can see it starting into a Boeing v Airbus moving throttles v non-moving ones type of argument!
We know that the aircraft was not flown or monitored properly. Let us get the full facts before the blame is apportioned.
