I am very disappointed in the way the Norwegian AAIB have conducted their recent "press conference". It would seem there is lots of room for misinterpretation of statements made by them. The BBC, for instance, is quoting the Norwegian AAIB spokesman as saying;-

"On the basis of the facts we have, this involves a technical fault; it isn't human error," the director of the board's aviation department said."

Can they already say it was not a maintenance error? I suspect he/she meant that it wasn't a piloting error.

And as to allowing the press into the hangar to view the wreckage and take photos, I find this extremely irresponsible.

I can't see the UK AAIB behaving like this.
