Is it embarrassing to tell the protection protected the aircraft first despite the last attempt the pilot made to have a chance to survive. Scrap the aircraft later on but let me have a chance to go home.
I don't blame Airbus for such protection, I blame the BEA for not detailing that sequence which is also part of the accident.
