I am stunned by the aggresive nature of some responses to this post!
I thought the show was interesting as well as being sympathetic to the families of the victims.
Interesting post mortem results indicate that some passengers survived the impact. This tends to indicate an attempted ditching or similar low speed impact and post impact break up of the AC.
Further reports of the French pilots union telling their members not to fly Airbus 330's and 340's without replacement pitots raised unanswered issues (in the accident report).
What about the lack of real time data streaming from passenger aircraft, so as to obviate the need for FDRs and their attendant searches in these scenarios.
I thought the report asked questions that STILL haven't been answered, without sensationalising the incident or the jounalist.
