If this had been done, now we would not be talking about this tragic accident.
- don't forget that those images were not what you would have seen on your shufti-scope - the colours are synthetically produced based on temperature I believe and we just do not know what would have been seen on their radars.
We are definitely seeing the Oozlum bird circling around now - we've had an outbreak of 'deep stall' again, a few 'they flew into a thunderstorms' (as above) and we are now well overdue for another outbreak of 'coffin corneritis'.
