Software is built the way to collapse _because_ it's not like brides and people don't lose lives if it collapses.
A little bit of Darwin, on why things are the way they are.

- hga 16y agoGiven that the flight recorders were tampered with I can't see how you can be so sure it was caused by software. Frankly, anyone flying at a low speed and very low altitude (which I define here as few hundred feet) with jet engines at idle needs to have their head examined. Whatever the software did or didn't do, the pilots knew all of these details and that with their craft's low energy level and the engines spooled down they had little or no margin for error, their's or the new (less than one and half years since first flight) fly-by-wire software.
