I wish people wouldn't make posts like this.

Whatever airmanship the crew of this flight did or didn't exhibit, I just hope it's better than the ethics of posters who see fit to trash other crews (and for that matter entire airlines crews) on public forums on the basis of speculation.
The irony here is that some otherwise well-meaning aviation folks are doing precisely what many condemn the media for doing.

When i heard on the car radio some years ago that TWA 800 was down, I turned off the radio because at the very early stage of things the only thing that was factually known was the aircraft was down--everything to follow to fill the air-time was news anchor babble and rampant speculation by a bevy of "experts" they had on to comment. I turned off the radio this time as well. Sure, the video footage shows certain things, and I wonder about the as-yet-to-be-officially-determined crash sequence, but I'll wait for the NTSB folks to get there and start their work.
