Save the enlarged pic in that repeort, open it in any graphics editor and
use the color chooser (usually an eyedropper) and check the colors. The box
in the enlargement clearly has 1 red corner at the bottom, the other bottom
corner (closest to the photog) has a white bottom. The stripes are diagonal.
The IPSC should lay off the wine during investigations.

The A-320 which crashed into the trees in France was
performing a
fly-by demonstration, by a line pilot, not an Airbus test or
demo
pilot. The profile was to fly by at 500 feet.
The pilot was making a scheduled revenue flight with
passengers and
came up
with the low slow fly by all on his own.
Actually, it was a charter flight. And not to split hairs, but
the
low/slow fly-by was discussed by airline officials and both
captains in
a
prior briefing that day. The accident was officially caused by
descent
below obstacle height combined with a delayed application of
TOGA power
to
exit the fly-by.
The F.O. was also declared mentally ill for demurring from the
above
'explanation'.
You are aware that the DFDR presented in court to substantiate the
official
story was NOT the DFDR from the crashed aircraft, yes?
... based on Assiline's assertion which he based on the appearance
of the
box. IIRC correctly, he said that the one that he saw shortly after
the
crash had vertical stripes on the housing, whereas the one in court
had
diagonal stripes.
Pretty conclusive, yes?
Yes actually. I've seen footage of the DFDR being recovered and no way
is it the
same one presented in court.
Surely there are some good still images from this footage available,
right? Can you provide a cite, or is this more 'common knowledge'?

Whether it proves anything or not I'll leave to the reader.
Thanks, Phil. I'd seen that bit earlier. It clearly looks like the same
boxes to me. I have no idea where the conspiracy theory is supported by
that, other than the written text which alleges it.
Jerry
Yeah. How anyone can draw any conclusion from such a terrible picture is
boggling. Seems fairly consistent with this pic for mine:
http://www.ntsb.gov/aviation/cvr_sidefront_lg.jpg
but too fuzzy (and the box is on a fair old angle to the photographer)
to say whether the stripes are vertical, horizontal, diagonal, or it's
just a white blob and not stripes at all.
