It doesn't do any harm to speculate as you get to realise all the failure modes that can lead to the same outcome. An official report usually finds just one.

At least in this case there will be a report. I don't expect we'll ever see anything sensible out of our quite similar accident on April1.

As for the Coroner getting on his high horse about the circumstances of the Hempel accident I'd remind everyone that what you read in the MSM isn't always the whole truth and note that the ATSB didn't investigate that accident. I also haven't seen anything in print about mechanical failure definitively being ruled out. Note the wreck was left on the bottom of the ocean and not recovered.

How do we know that the tail dolly wasn’t put on to facilitate removal of the wreck?
Let’s wait until the report folks…
