Indeed. Spent minutes analysing it. Speculation: pilot worked really hard to hit narrow river, to maximise survival. Insufficient data, but one turboprop failed (is visible there), too soon after takeoff, mayday declared, and either the river was off to one side or too short. Turning to one side like that is either an attempt to steer right, or to lose height as fast as possible. Also heard rumour of avoiding block of flats, but my gut feel is that the pilot is going to do that anyway. It's the drink he wanted. Without prejudice ... looking forward to the investigation results. --=20 James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ --=20 http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
