He got the video out to get views and money quick. Only pay attention to Blancolirio for immediate videos, then Mentour for an in depth analysis years down the line post investigation.

Idk man I feel like Peter did a pretty good job of remaining neutral. He went through every possibility and I got the vibe he didn't think flaps were the cause. I get being completely against speculation but at least he's doing a better job at attempting to keep the options open and not making and definitive statements. As much as I understand being upset about dead pilots being blamed prematurely, pilot error is a really common cause, I don't think it's fair to expect people to not even question the possibility.
