Pay attention.
The rubbish on this website flows on and on. Richard Quest (CNN) is an able representative of such rubbish. A foolish man.
As an experienced A330 pilot, I can inform those PPrune posters and TV/radio commentators who have no experience-based knowledge, your stupid postings/TV commentaries are evident and obviously ignorant to aviation professionals and sadly they appear plausible to people who have little understanding. (BBC/Sky News included)
The idiots abound. Thank God for professionals, including the AF pilots who doubtless did their best. When your time is truly up, that is it. My thought is that the situation was beyond resolution. This happens, albeit rarely, in life. And aviation.
