none of this would have taken place if they had been where they thought they were.
Absolutely correct Fantome.
framer it is impossible to say
if "the outcome would have been the same"

We can only collate the
facts and evidence of an accident and draw conclusion of what caused it. Mahon, Vette, et al, did this during the Erebus Inquiry and did it very well. I see no reason why Justice Peter Mahon's finding: ".... the single dominant and effective cause of the disaster was the mistake made by those airline officials who programmed the aircraft to fly directly at Mt.Erebus and omitted to tell the aircrew" could be challenged, as it is factual and undeniably true.
