AF Times article on 19 Nov 09 Mali crash
Not very flattering.
Never leave an airfield in Africa without full tanks.
If you're making decisions based on a timeline, consider how long it will take to move your passengers via ground movement in the back of an ambulance.

Slight thread drift but I wish RAF News was as independent as the US version. Our rag thinks it's being edgy if it publishes a letter criticising the woolly-pully!

y-e-s,
it does seem a bit over the top on the positive spin stat, to be grateful for the skill of the pilots at crash landing when their ineptitude caused the crash in the first place. Mind you, with that sort of decision making ability they'll probably both be quite experienced at crashing aircraft before too long...
