NewsDaily: Faulty altimeter played part in Turkish crash
On the same page... A radar altimeter malfunction causes a 737 AP to shutdown the engines? Does that really mean that it was on autoland or something and the AP idled the engines? Anyone know, or is this another case of the press being nuts?

I can't fathom how an experienced crew would let this happen to themselves. Unless there was something else gong on mechanically it is simply unbelievable.

I can't find an article with the excerpt, but I read recently the crew did get distracted by something else and neither noticed the throttles were at idle. No excuse for proper situational awareness.
As to the other story, if you're a person of faith, great, couldn't care less.
But religion is no exscuse to be derelict from your responsibilities in the cockpit.
