I never said the crew wasn't at faullt and, as far as I can recall, nor did anyone else. The point I was making was that it wasn't only the fault of the crew. The whole point - forgive me for teaching grandmothers to suck eggs - of safety systems is that they come into play when the human element fails. Pilots are human and they fail, so safety systems ensure that there is a second line of safety. TOWS should have been working - that's what it was there for.
