Are we in Tech log?
I am aware that whatever Langewiesche writes cannot be a primary source of technical information. He's good at telling stories for a broad audience without making too many errors on the technical details. No more and no less.

But the bizarre summary quoted by Machaca ("As Langewiesche discovered, the pilots had become confused..."), the sensational conclusion suggested by the article's title, and Langewiesche's questionable decision to work for a magazine that many seem to see on the same level as "Vogue" make the article look sillier than it actually is.
