So in the midst of a slew of motherhood statements, pious instruction on how to behave online and the like, do we actually know anything about this accident - beyond the fact that it happened?
I raised the question earlier as to what weight could be given to the eye witness report of something falling from the aircraft before it crashed, does anyone know who observed this?
On a more general level, notwithstanding some of the wilder flights of fancy seen here, it is interesting to note that once again the focus of the pprune thread was on the crux of the recent Chipmunk crash ie. it failed to recover from a spin, something that has happened before with this type. By all means maintain an open mind, but discount the group intelligence or herd instinct if you will, at your peril.
