Heard about it when deprived of my computer, hence the late reply. I feel gutted about it. But what puzzles me is that the A/C type has not been grounded by any authority. Unless one is absolutely positive that it is a one-off event (like being hit by a meteorite or a missile), how can anybody be sure that it won't happen again? Who is responsible for grounding a type?

Remember, whatever happened came about so quickly that there was not even a Mayday call. How can one justify continuous operation without even a clue as to what happened?
