Re impact "with" vertical acceleration
RE: #3248 (FanAviation)
I heartily support your observations except on one (very minor) point.

Then it says "the plane has probably (vraisemblablement)) hit the surface of water in flight line ("with" but the word is missing here) a strong vertical acceleration"

In my opinion the word "with" is not missing but was incorrectly inserted in the english translation, and later in the Findings (french and english texts). The 'frenchman with a scientific background' was quite correct. Inserting the word "with" makes the "acceleration" part of the impact entry conditions, which it is not. Without the word "with", the statement correctly observes only that visual examination showed that the parts had been subjected to strong acceleration (caused by impact forces).
