Mahon’s book was pathetic.
Yet entirely believable to a layman with little or no aviation knowledge. The company changed the computerised "flight path" to be on a collision course with a mountain. Which the pilot would have seen, were it not for the whiteout phenomenon. Therefore the pilot was not to blame. It's common sense.
But common sense also tells us that the sun travels around the earth every day. Common sense can be wrong.
Paul Holmes’s efforts did his case more harm than good
They truly did. I nearly laughed out loud when I read that it was okay for Collins to be using the INS at low level because he was using "every safety mechanism at his disposal". What people like Holmes desperately need to realise is that they are perpetuating the pain of the Collins family, not alleviating it.
