I just read the report....here it is if the previous link does not work.

All I can say is that it is pretty eye opening and really made me rethink my initial thoughts about this situation.

Have you taken an avi class?

Not yet - I will be taking AIARE level I in a little more than a month. Been reading up in advance of that, particularly on human factors/heuristics, as that seems to be critical in so many accidents. I'm certainly no expert but the fact pattern in this case just seems to scream "trouble waiting to happen."

T4T thread is definitely worth reading
