For those of us who actually do this for a living, for those who have done so previously or even are just really interested, not to say incredibly knowledgeable, in aviation as a whole this is a Rumour Network so people can and do say, declare and claim their bit of rumour, theory or supposition.
That said of course when we who know something look at the sensationalism and wild ass claims of the media with their so called experts in, well to be frank, any thing really, are we really suprised that it is so wrong. Not only that, if you take aviation as a single subject and look wider across All news from finance to auto motive or conflict to the culinary arts say. Journos are the self licking lolly pop that sensationalises everything to grab the interest of the lowest common denominator and give them "Facts" of News that they can talk about. When we see from our part of ship the tripe they and their experts come up with is it not somewhat indicative of the made up and hyped nature of pretty much everything else within the media circle we read about, listen to and watch. Simply declaring their facts not surrounded by subterfuge, gossip, rumour and sensationalism wouldn't be half as interesting to the general public.....
This, our Rumour Network, also has Wild Ass guesses of reason and cause but we can sift it and discredit it amongst ourselves....relying on the commercial media to give us our facts, well quite frankly, maybe worth an over view but then leave it in the back ground. Eventually more real facts wil come out and we can look back, say " ah so that's why it climbed, descended, pitched, rolled and our companies will like as not throw in some delayed but enhanced training package as mitigation of what we have found out was sadly lacking before.
So rumour on and let everyone have their say............
