I was somewhat heartened when I read the first post of this new topic.
Here's a guy, who probably more than anyone else on the planet, has relived this one accident in his mind over and over, analysing every tiny detail and trying to get his head around it.
It was articulate, blatantly honest, technically accurate - despite the emotions which can boil over in these situations. And it reads like he has moved on with his life and can calmly separate the wheat from the chaff in the current discussions and media attention.
I felt genuinely relieved and heartened in aviation to read it, and also happy for him.
And then... the childishness continues. We can't even respect someone who wanted to say their piece and be done with it. Before anyone blink, the sh*t slinging and finger pointing and circular arguments start again, when there's already another dedicated thread where people have already said their fair share - and then some.
Pathetic. We live in a society of children.
Mike, I wish you all the best.
