Yes that was a great read. As much as enjoy the details, it's hard to block out what the passengers and crew went through. Very sad.

It is interesting that other aircraft had gone around the storm and 447 did not. The text above suggests that the experienced pilot lead them to the storm then took of for a rest, robert discovered that the radar settings where incorrect and made the adjustments. So was the veteran pilot Marc dubois accountable also for piloting 447 into the storm that other aircraft had diverted around and leaving his juniors to manage the situation. It doesnt excuse the actions of he other pilots howevervdid they need to go through that? Just my thoughts after reading the details.
