Something I've never understood is why people feel there is some sort of obligation to speak to the press. What does it achieve?
In this case, assuming an entirely factually correct report in the paper (unlikely), it just means hundreds more people know about the incident, for no reason. If they had been interested they would have read the existing AAIB findings.
If (more likely) the report is incorrect, hundreds of people are told a fairy tale, and you are named.
I can't see any good coming of it.
