PROSECUTING PILOTS

http://bit.ly/hCnDll

"Prosecutors in Russia have compiled a criminal case against the two pilots involved in the Tupolev Tu-204 approach crash in Moscow a year ago... Investigators determined that the pilots had pressed on with the approach in darkness and poor weather..."

In light of my earlier comments on the Smolensk accident it would be very interesting to learn what drove these pilots to press on with the approach to Moscow DME. There were no fatalities so it should be possible to get some definitive answers, but not if the pilots expect to be prosecuted.
