Latest "rumors" from Latvia and Russia...

Apollo - Zi

The Google translate for Latvian is pretty sorry, I will try to improve...

Nevertheless the human factor is to blame for the Superjet 100 crash says Russian media.
A source, close to the investigation told journalists the following: Pilot conversations [CVR] reveal that the a/c captain accomplished a „deadly maneuver”, bragging about the aircraft's capabilities. Specialists in Russian media have called this "aerial hooliganism".
In the transcripts you not only hear the warning, that the aircraft is nearing an object, but also a member of the crew trying to talk the captain out of performing risky maneuvers.
The source contends, that in the transcripts the other pilot is yelling approximately this phrase: Commander we are not allowed there, thre is a mountain.
The source also said, that the transcripts revealed that the fateful maneuver, which the pilot was not allowed to perform, was not the first during this flight.
Though temporarily/still we do not have official confirmation about this information, neither from Russian or Indonesian investigators.
