Latest on the crash in Brazil?
Was wondering if any body knows the latest on the crash that happened in Brazil? I heard that they were going way too fast for the approach and combined with a wet runway...... I realy don't trust the major media corporations to give the accurate info.
What kind of an airplane was it?

Something was posted about a deferred thrust-reverser on one side, but that's really all I've heard/read. Other than that, it was a stacked situation, not in the pilots favor it seems.

runway wasnt groove, landed under heavy rain, left or right thrust reverser inoperative, runway length 6,4xx ... ouch! i guess a chain of events creates an accident, instead of just of one thing.

Almost every situation is that way. I've caught myself several times where I've broken the chain before it broke me.

That is a great line. There were times when I was flying and I realized that things were not right and I mentally stepped back and in my head starting filling out an accident report and I could easily see the where the chain of events started and immediately broke the chain. It saved my @ss numerous times.
