Turangi, I was in PAP the day of the crash. Just got back to UK this morning. Only knew the capt to see. Everybody on the ramp at PAP held him in high regard. I heard the F/O was a young spanish guy who was over there hour building. I have spoken to quite a few people abou the crash, including one of the owners and a mechanic who was at the scene. The thing is, it was an eastern block built aircraft which had an accident on Haitian soil while on the Haitian register. A proper investigation is unlikely to ever be carried out, but maybe I will be proven wrong. The stories I got have some unbelievable elements to them so I think they could be classed as 'speculation' and it would not be in good taste to spout them out. The insurance investigator arrived in PAP 3 days ago. Maybe his experience may shed some light on things. My condolances to the crew and passengers. RIP.
