Ah Air France encore! Quelle surprise!!
AAL had one in ABQ recently. Happens more often than you think. I had one years ago in ROA. Last sector of the day (of five), fatigue, night, weather etc. got vectored too closely to a mountain.
With this AF flight, probably add ATC and other African-relevant issues.
It makes me wonder that mainly AF issues are commonly reported and dissected on this board. I find it hard to believe that other operators fly incident free. I wonder how freely BA, LH and others report compared to AF.
