Am I missing something here??
Probably.
Notwithstanding the parallel discussion concerning helicopters, the only salient points we currently have about the A400M accident are:
1. The aircraft suffered a fatal accident.
2. Media reports hint at unofficial industry sources which allude to the loss of thrust from 3 or more engines at low level during the intial climb.
3. The reason for this
rumoured loss of thrust has yet to be officially identified.
4. FDR and CVR analysis is ongoing.
As for this specific thread, there has been a clear policy of dissuading every fruitcake and MSFS-geek from the level of wild speculation which so often contaminates the Rumours and News forum.
But I think it's
fairly safe to assume that no extraterrestrials were involved......
