The continued insistence by some that this was a disaster narrowly avoided

- I take it from that you are quite sanguine about the whole thing, then? A mere 'stroll in the park'?
2 posts above...

I don't think we can say either, yet. Nor whether 5 super alert Flt Crew made a real difference to the outcome, or whether 2 mere mortal line pilots would have had a good chance of a safe outcome, albeit maybe less tidily.

I've asked twice above (and not expecting an answer yet) whether they were "one (further) system failure" from something much more serious ("disaster"), and if so, were those systems "damaged but hanging on" or fully functional? The lateral and longtitudinal CG issues, were the crew aware of the limits? Where they were in respect of them?

It will make an interesting report when it eventually comes out
