'Could have been any one of us'


Sorry, don't accept that. For one it's too early to state a definite reason for this crash.


But let's say it is CFIT, we go through a lot of training and checking at my airline to operate into airports with surrounding high terrain and in the 26 years i've been here we've managed to avoid hitting it.


Saying 'it could have been any one of us' presupposes it's just fate and some luck that keeps us out of the rocks.


If that's what you are relying on you should get out of this business.
