The missing cvr transcript
"Unless I missed it, nobody seems to have mentioned that the original worst-case theory--that the airplane flew into the mother and father of all ITCZ thunderstorms because it was radar-blanked by a line of cells between it and AF447--no longer seems to hold water.
Certainly 447 flew into weather that created an unusual kind of supercooled, high-altitude icing that suddenly affected the Pitots, but the CVR transcript doesn't mention anything that might be interpreted as turbulence upset--only the apparent impossibility of dealing with multiple fault warnings and anomalous displays. "
Does anybody really believe that there wasn't a lot of chatter going on in the cockpit? Especially, "What's it doing now?"
We've been given only minimal information and so far no indication that the CVR was not intact.
Another notable absence: Any reference whatsoever to the number one item: THE CHECKLIST! With everything going "off " nothing re "reset".
