I stress that a flight reconstruction of this size has never happened before in Greece and I'm of the impression that the whole scenario of this flight has never happened before in the world. |
It's in a bad state and, possibly, it won't give us the information we need. Both boxes will be sent to Paris where a French committee will help us and the foreign experts that are here to decode. |
That is part of the investigation which I cannot discuss at this point. |
The only fortunate event in the investigation is that we have the flight data recorder. |
There apparently was a lack of oxygen, which is usually the case when the cabin is de-pressurized. |
This (loss of pressure) occurred during the ascent ... We are still investigating why the pilots continued their ascent and did not respond properly. |
We don't know if we will be able to get something from it. |
We got what we wanted from the flight. |
What troubles us is that the automatic pilot was functioning up to a certain point, and then it was disengaged, possibly by human action. |
