What's really sad is that people got hurt / killed ? and the comments are two rednecks battling it out as to who's country is better. So selfish....

The main thing is is that it came down to a simple mechanical failure. Moisture causing failure in 3 flight control sensors led to the plane thinking that it was at a lower angle of attack than it was, causing it to raise that nose higher at a speed too low for that angle of attack, causing the aircraft to stall, and then wing over into the ground...Leading to the demise of a truly gorgeous aircraft.
Those crewman who bailed out have balls of steel. Nothing will come to the pilots about it, and they will keep flying i dare say.

Sounds like the guy who made the rubber seals for the flight control sensors might be in a bit of strife tho!
