Shocking levels of speculation with limited access to facts or an understanding of Airbus fbw systems. Currently away from the UK and 'captain' Mike Vivian - apparently a former head of CAA flight operations' glibly announced on BBC world news that this was 'almost certainly' a terrorist event. The lack of discretion in the aftermath of such a tragic event beggars belief. However, unsurprising level of drivel from former CAA operatives is de rigeur. Of course a nice fat 'consultancy' fee for spouting garbage is sop. Makes me gag that these individuals benefit from shocking aviation disasters. RIP to the crew / passengers.
