Criminal Investigation
I suppose it was inevitable, but Agence Presse, Reuters and others are reporting that a criminal Investigation has commenced, with focus on the pitots, and why they were not replaced.
Apparantly this is standard procedure in France if French citizens die outside the country, but we are all aware of the regrettable effects of a criminal investigation mingling with, or worse, hindring an accident investigation: many people who might have something to contribute retreat into the woodwork.
A shame, really.
