Silberfuchs
Thank you for your post on on sector whiteout and the conditions present prior to the crash.
While there is no doubt some blame must rest with the crew I think one or two on here find it hard to accept how this crew were trapped by circumstances, some they didn't know about and some they didn't understand, and cannot be solely blamed for the crash.
Right until a minute or two before they crashed they thought they were in clear air with good visibility tracking over an area 25 miles to the west of where they actually were, an area devoid of high terrain.
In the prevailing conditions and knowing how previous flights had been conducted, who on here can hold their hand on their heart and say they would not have done the same?
