We constantly jump the media and others for their mistakes in rush to judgement and then we ourselves do the same. Smoke in the cockpit is usually caused by something burning and who knows what that was. Do all of you know where your smoke mask is? What exactly is the 310 procedure for smoke? What do you do if your panel bursts into flame or stops working altogether and you are trying to find the airport for an emergency landing?? What kind of rocket scientist does it take to know your chances of living are better if you do not hit objects like buildings if you can avoid them??? Lastly, what kind of person would presume to have any idea what was going on in that cockpit when it hit?
In my job, I make calculated guesses as to what caused aircraft accidents but never in one case I can think of did I try and make a judgement on what the pilot did in a case like this any more than the rudder trim accident a month or so back.
