Capt Bloggs,
Out of context my comment is totally irrelevant. My point (if you read my post and exchanges
) is the it does not matter that the pilot and/or engineer in question in this case did not "set out with the intent on damaging people and property" as ZEEBEE put it. THAT is hardly relevant!
The judgement against the pilot is worrisome. So is the judgement against the engineer. But between them I believe they were responsible for the accident. Perhaps the apportionment is questionable - and I think this may be subject to appeal - we will see.
