My son is senior cabin crew, and watched the footage alongside some pilots. They all immediately suggested it was pilot error, undercarriage still down and flaps straight. And my lad still wonders why we worry about him.
Very tragic.
RIP June

Very tragic.
It's devastating for so many families and a huge loss of life for this country in a single tragedy.
At least one British survivor, apparently he was sat in seat 11a, a very lucky man in the scheme of things.
Douglas McCarthy, the frontman and principle songwriter for the influential British industrial band Nitzer Ebb, has died, aged 58.
The news was announced in a statement from the band’s social media channels, which disclosed that McCarthy died on Wednesday morning (12 June).
“It is with a heavy heart that we regret to inform that Douglas McCarthy passed away this morning,” the band’s representatives said.
“We ask everyone to please be respectful of Douglas, his wife and family in this difficult time. We appreciate your understanding and will share more information soon.”

Apparently all but the one killed in the Air India crash, absolutely tragic, RIP the 241.
Sadly, it’s up to 290 now, including those in the student accommodation that was hit.

Deacon Blue's keyboard player James Prime has died from cancer aged 64.
Prime, from Kilmarnock, was a founding member of the band when it was formed in Glasgow by singer Ricky Ross in 1985.
In a statement on Instagram, the band said that "our brother, James Prime, passed away after a short struggle with cancer".
It added: "Thank you so much for the messages of support that you shared over the last two weeks, they meant so much to Jim, his family and us."
The band said last week that Prime, who was also a music lecturer at the University of the West of Scotland, was "seriously ill" in intensive care.
But he gave them the go-ahead to continue with their scheduled tour later this year.
