As I said on the UK mishap, I think it is a electromechanical or software problem I doubt the icing or fuel contamination angles. :wink:

What about terrorism?, don't tell me you have ruled that out already!

Not EVERY problem is down to terrorism. There could be any one of a hundred reasons for the cause of this scenario.

I am hoping you are being sarcastic.

Yes

You need to see ATFS post # 752 and subsequent in the Heathrow 777 thread, to get the joke :)

I see what you mean now, having read further down that thread I came across:

ATF-CRASH, and all.
Please cease all terrorism speculation and bring this thread back to this accident.

In the event the AAIB or other official agency indicate that some form of terrorism could be the cause.

Future terrorism posts in this thread will be deleted.

Please open a thread on terrorism if you wish to continue.

Thank you for your consideration.

;) :)

Joking aside, I am sure the relevant authorities will exhaust ALL avenues of potential causes of these problems before making thier findings public.
