Air India plane crash: 'Sleepy' pilot blamed
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-11772562
This article is about the plain crash in India in May of this year. Investigations have shown that the pilot of the aircraft was sleeping for most of the flight and was then affected by 'sleep inertia' which caused him to be disoriented and missed the runway by about 600 meters. Only 8 people survived. It also mentiones that the investigation report only went public after being seen by the Indian Parlement. Due to a tip the news came out a little earlier but the official report had to be approved by the Parlement.
This was a very short article and I don't really know how to give an opinion on this. Of course it was a awful accident and the pilot should not have been sleeping durnig the flight. It surprises me that the pilot was very experianced and has over 10.000 flight hours under his belt that he would do such a thing. It also is weird to me that the Parlement should have to approve of a report being made public. This is not something about national security or whatever what should be kept secret. The truth should be made public, especially for the families and friends of the victoms. But that is just my opinion, please let me know how you feel about this.
