Dantruck, my comments were made after listening to the report on TV, not through the link.

Yes, there are lessons to be learned. But the AAIB does not apportion blame, it establishes the facts and subsequently makes safety recommendations.

Notwithstanding the link, to the average person the BBC report blamed the crash on a maintenance error. That was not the primary cause, as the full AAIB report makes abundantly clear.

I learned my English at public school, since you ask. Normally my preferred source of news is BBC News 24; however, on this occasion their normal standards slipped. Incidentally, I hope that the BBC sticks to its guns regarding the allegations concerning Phoney Tony's 'sexed up' WMD bolleaux and that the spin doctors get the push.....as well as the other players in that tacky tableau of deceit.
