If you want to speculate then do it under another topic name. As I mentioned earlier I doubt any of you know the attitude of the aircraft when it hit the ground. So how can you speculate weather he was doing and approach, Iced up and fell out of the ky, our just got disorientated and spudded it in.
I sympathize with the people affected, the whole company basically, but if planes crash, people are curious as to what the cause is. Some just for kicks, but most pilots want to learn about and avoid the same mistakes. Our investigating procedures by the TSB are pretty lengthy. Not only because they want to be thorough, but mainly because all parties have the chance to participate and defend and/or explain themselves. The downside of this, is that pilots don't want to wait that long to figure out what happened. Speculation is a logical consequence. I'd rather have the speculation happen on an aviation forum, instead of an instagram or facebook post. The beauty of speculation, is that people are not just trying to solve what happened to the actual crashed airplane, but are also solving and preventing a plethora of other possible accidents. From that point of view, the speculation is sometimes more edcuational than the actual crash.
That being said, if people start posting opinions or suspicious as facts, which could be picked up by the media, then they are going a bit too far.
Even if you think you know what happened, unless you were in the cockpit at the time of the crash, you are never sure. And in the unlikely event you do know exactly
what happened, correctly determining
why it happened, is a whole different investigation. It's important to remember that before putting all the blame on the pilots. If I ever have an accident, I'd like people to give me the benefit of the doubt as well.
