We know nothing. Air France knows nothing. Why do people look at automatic ACARS messages of any part of this accident? The known thunderstorms in the IC area are well known. They knew it before they took off. Why take fragments of information and come up with lightning strikes, etc. We need to wait for some solid data. I am sure Airbus knows already the copilot used too much rudder. Cheap solution.
Worked in 2001
Blubbers, what are you talking about. First you are saying "we know nothing" and then "I am sure Airbus..." Did you call AF and AB that you've solved the secret ? Oh man...
