Mark my words, it will come out that you can't ground an Airbus enough to with stand a direct 100,000 volt lighting strike and not fry something.

Air France went down because those guys lost situational awareness at night in the soup. They didn't know if up was up, down was down, if the plane had air going over the wings or not because the screen weren't given them the information. The CVR conversation confirms this. Three guys looking at the panels and none of them knew what to make of it.

Carry on.
