Your attempt to compare these events is incomprehensible. There are no black boxes to be found on the Mull - only wreckage. We know what happened - the Chinook flew into the ground in fog but we don't know why. We have not a clue what happened to the AF jet and we don't know what ACTUALLY happened to ZD576, and maybe never will.

Just try to stick with the facts as some folk insist they are known, and try not to cloud the waters with irrelevant comparisons to other crashes. Stick with the small number of known facts of this one and the answer is before your eyes.
Now that is a slightly more accurate assessment don't you think
