@Ashling:
I don't think CONF iture really cares about the minutae of the Hudson ditching. As he hinted at earlier, what this is really about for him is his theory that if the flight control logic gave Capt. Asseline just a couple of extra degrees of pitch at Habsheim, the trees would have been cleared and all would have been well.
For him this is akin to religious conviction, and no amount of evidence to the contrary will sway him from his quest.
