The elephant in this room is the unrecorded evidence
It really is time for you to produce it.

I understand that some people do believe the crew made a serious error, and I have to say I think that seems to me to be the most likely cause.

But, if that was what I was 100% convinced of, which tallies with the official verdict, I don't think I would bother to spend any time refuting claims to the opposite. When I said I don't understand, that wasn't a deprecating comment. I genuinely don't understand why you, JP and Caz are so keen to see the verdict upheld.
If you read my posts I have never either supported or denied the verdict of the ROs. I do believe however that the cause of this accident lies not with the airworthiness or serviceability of this particular aircraft, but rather with a tragic error or errors by the crew on the day.

At the end of the day those in charge of making judgement upon such tradgedies have only the evidence to hand upon which to make those judgments. They are probably not privy to the "elephant in the room" or other imaginative scenarios.

Good night all.
