Well this is Italy we're talking about.

Spatial Disorientation, in a storm, without pitot instruments would be a bad combination indeed.

Great, they found more wreckage, pretty meaningless until they find the data recorders. Blocked pitots would certainly make a lot of sense. Oh and I think those manslaughter charges were primarily for the sake of getting the investigators to give it one last full on attempt to find the data recorders.

I certainly hope the prosecutor in this case reconsidered...

and these same people would be suing the same guys if they evacuated, and lost business revenue or got looted and the quake didn't happen.

In case you hadn't heard already, one of the flight recorders has officially been found today :

Assuming it's readable, this is a huge breakthrough in this investigation.

I thought the second one lost its casing, so getting data from it is going to be nigh impossible?

well i find this interesting. not sure about air france but when i was in flight school we had a KLM school located within ours. i was trying to flirt with some cute KLM chick and she said once she graduates this school they go right to training on a 737 or whatever plane they get. i was shocked at this because in america you have to get tons of hours flying smaller aircraft before you even have a chance to fly something like that. i wonder if it is the same with air france? or other euro countries?
