It boggles my mind how some participants in this forum continue to seize on loss of the VS as the likely cause of the AF447 accident. Loss of the VS in-flight is probably the most discussed concept in this thread.
This single-mindedness is not an asset and detracts from other explorations.
I agree, but many on this site refuse to trust/believe the BEA. The BEA is not obligated to share all the information that they are collecting at this time. This after-all is a criminal investigation as well...so please be patient. I for one am encouraged at the accelerated pace of the proceedings!
