crewmeal Any decision on what will happen to the aircraft? Is it a write off?
It might be logical, but what does it matter, the aircraft didn't cause the accident, so why care about what happens to it ? Immaterial to what professional pilots - even retired P.P.s - would like to know about the cause.

I have my own opinion of course, unless the direction and location indicators at the airport were deliberately misleading - and I doubt that - the means to navigate to the threshold of the runway that they were cleared to were available to the crew- if they were paying attention to where they were going. It might not have been easy, but it was possible.

But what do I know ? I wasn't there. But was anyone who is now pontificating on this forum ?

QED.
