Once again, as if it was a "fait accompli" the SPIEGEL ONLINE delivers the same rhetoric : The pilots flew straight into the deadly cloud. Period.
Der SPIEGEL goes as far as producing the explanation for that : Pilots are so Company minded that they don’t want to burn the extra fuel for a weather deviation and risk a fuel stop later on.

Herr Traufetter, can I say you have been ill advised on that one ?

But the following looks very tasty …
Early next month the German BFU will publish an unpleasant investigation report for Airbus on the near-crash of a Lufthansa A320 in Hamburg two years ago. An unexpected reaction of the flight computer caused the left wing of the jet drag on the runway. The BFU will make a total of twelve safety recommendations, including the Airbus computer programs.
Can hardly wait ...

Thanks for the article mm43.
