The report has yet to be posted on the AAIB site so it may be premature to comment.

News reports however seem to indicate that the conclusion of the BEA is that airline, crew and manufacturer are blameless.

But that Continental airlines isn't.

It will be interesting to see how they explain the grossly overweight take-off, with a tailwind, defective undercarriage and the shutting down of an operating engine close to the ground. (all of course allegedley)

Why am I not surprised?
