Revisiting 'storm in a coffee cup'.

I was just adding a photo to an earlier post which I realised had a certain amount of significance at the moment with regard to Air France flight 447. A little sobering especially when I try to imagine what the pilots had to deal with at the time of the tragedy. It doesn't even bare thinking about if the scenario I have in mind is in any way right let alone what the crew and passengers experienced down the back. I wonder if this is an example of the technology being too smart for the human side of things to take over when they go wrong. I really appreciate the fact that I have some physical connection between my control column and the flying surfaces. Long may it last.

RIP crew and passengers of AF447. I just hope we find the cause of this sad loss so that we can learn from it to stop it happening again.
