Learjet accident occurred longer ago than you think Moggie - 13 August 1996.
The big problem is the length of time between an incident and a sensible report being published on the cause(s). When the newspapers get it wrong, you can usually expect the "apology" will be contained in less than a column inch at the bottom of page 15!
...and now I'm awaiting someone from Virgin to tell us all what really happened on flight VS900, last Saturday.
