the article hardly says anything... (more than dont believe what media provides, which again is nothing new)

The point of the article is to wait until the official report is released before jumping up and down on an innocent party. As has happened in many other situations, the media circus surrounding an unfortunate event can cause people to prejudge, and sometimes they don't stick around to learn the truth.

Case in point: I was reading something recently (can't remember what) where the author pointed out that many people still believe Richard Jewell [1] to be the Atlanta bomber.

So you would have preferred the pilot author make different uninformed, speculative claims about the cause of the crash? That's the whole point: no one reporting on or writing about this has all the facts yet
> no one reporting on or writing about this has all the facts yet

yep, that is implicit in the lack of an official and conclusive report. But I have spent 10 minutes reading the article waiting for something interesting, and he just says nothing apart from wait for the official info, dont speculate. which is the default mindset of many. but yes, there might be a whole lot of other people who needs to read this carefully ;)

Yeah, its really an article full of air. Sounds right from a pilot's perspective.
