One of the most important rules following an airline crash is to wait a week before seriously speculating about the cause unless of course it is something blatantly obvious like wind shear. What we hear the media right now is probably 50% correct at best.
People really should stop assuming that every plane crash is either caused by terrorism or a USN missile and is always covered up by a massive government conspiracy. Almost every plane crash is caused by human error that is either compounded by mechanical failure or the human error caused the mechanical failure.
I heard an expert say the same thing.
Plane crashers are NEVER caused by ONE thing. It's always a combination of two or three events happening within a short period of time.
"People really should stop assuming that every plane crash is either caused by terrorism or a USN missile and is always covered up by a massive government conspiracy."
That really wasn't my assumption, but the explanations put forth so far haven't really made much sense.
I guess we'll just have to wait for the 'offical' report.
