What goes around, comes around?
If I repeat If, language was a contributory factor in this sad event then who do we blame? As I understand it the agreed common aviation language is English (and of course French, Spanish, Russian. etc., etc..) Why? Because it is the most widely spoken language in the world, so anyone with a half a brain would clearly see the benefits of using this most common language, from a safety aspect alone. However in a lot of cases, national pride takes the front seat, over safety and common sense. This intransigence has been a contributory factor in air accidents in the past.
I rest my case.
