Yes, and it's likely that the death toll was significantly reduced as a result.

In a more serious setting than an internet forum, a statement like that would be borderline slanderous. Do you have any evidence for this supposition? Or is it more likely that they *did* analyze the technical aspects and found that no technical failure matched the evidence?
I've asked before and I'll ask again - I can't see any benefit to the BEA by smoothing things over for Airbus. It would also open Airbus to greater risk of problems if the issue repeated itself. What do you believe either would stand to gain?
