If people would just think how long it took to find out what actually happened in any air disaster in recent memory, they'd know that PR damage control was in full swing immediately. That's assuming it was mechanical rather than pilot error.
Not accusing the pilots of anything. I'm just saying that what was put out yesterday by CNN was PR. I'm happy the pilots survived and I'm sorry for the loss of life on the ground.
PCI, your questions were valid given the area. We will see if further details are forthcoming. I doubt they will be. If there was pilot error, the only way we would know is perhaps a change in the type of aircraft the pilots fly. So, a quiet transfer for training somewhere else.
