I think this is nuts! I think it should be the Airport authorities fault for not catching the FOD that was on the runway in the beginning anyway.
It is outrageous. It sounds like third world vigilante justice. Reminds me of the Aeroperú crash in the late 1990s when they blamed & charged a guy who washes planes for causing the whole thing (he did leave tape over a pitot-static port) rather than investigating the companies involved, the lack of pre-flight, and the systemic failures that allowed that to happen.
Typical...........what about the pilots and their contribution to the accident? Oh, I'm sorry they had no hand in the accident. This is beginning to look like one I recall from the 1970's out there in the Canary Islands!
