Lets get real, ignore the crap, and put this in perspective.
Well said.

Sudden loss of power?

We simply don't know what happened yet and pilot error may well be a factor but in my gut I don't think this is a pilot error accident. Very untechnical I know and I may well be proved wrong but that's my inclination at the moment.

Does anyone know when the AAIB are likely to make any kind of initial statement?
