That's OK Fork Tail I can live with that.
It's my opinion that had MDX been permitted to flight plan and track coastal the aircraft would most likely not have crashed say 95% most likely. Therefore that's a "large contribution" in my book. I have not said that other contributory factors weren't also "largely responsible". Say 40% causation is "large" in my book. Other factors could well have broken the chain in this case but however you look at it I would far rather something bad happen over the coast than over the Barringtons anytime.
I am reminded of the story of a captain who had been involved in a crash and who was being interrogated by a barrister asking should the captain have done this or that differently. "Sir" answered the captain, "had I known I was going to crash i would not even have gotten out of bed that morning"
