Yemenia A-310 accident 2009 report

@Trackdiamond:

1. Corporate Manslaughter is not the same thing as murder
2. The AF447 airframe was completely airworthy
3. It would appear the Yemenia airframe was not, and had been written up beforehand
4. The charge seems to have been brought because despite repeated warnings, the airline continued to operate aircraft that were not fit for purpose

It's also worth noting that just because the charges have been brought, it doesn't necessarily mean anything will come of them.

Corporate manslaughter is an action brought against the airline - it's not the same thing as trying to prosecute the crew in absentia.
