Thanks for taking the time to explain that properly.

I have to say that while my opinion of what happened remains unchanged (and unsubstantiated), I do agree that the 'gross negligence' charge is not appropriate here, as plainly there is always the possibility that they were overtaken by some unknown event.

So, yup. I agree with you.

It seems the Air Force made up their minds on what happened and decided that the possibility of that ''unknown event" was remote enough to be ignored. That's up to them and I offer no comment on it either way.

What I did ask though, was, if their Airships were correct and the a/c was not subject to such an event, (and I agree, how could they know for sure?) would CFITing the Chinook warrant the GN charge?

I'll agree, it's a hypothetical Q. as they don't know for sure what actually took place, but:

Did it? (at the time).

Or did it not?
