My condolences to all the people affected by this accident, in particular to the friends and families of the victims.
These threads have 3041 posts.
Naturally enough it is ordered in time of each post but since it covers
so many subjects it is a little hard to follow any particular subject.
Here I have reorganised the original thread by subject.
Any post that refers to a subject is included in a page in the original order of the posts.
Posts that mention multiple subjects are duplicated appropriately. I have not changed the content of any post and this includes links and images.
Total Posts: 3041, posts included: 2110, excluded: 931, proportion included: 69.4%, proportion rejected: 30.6%

These are worth reading before you go any further.
