Re:


Modern civilization, a society of specialists via their specialists caused the tragic demise. The plane was attacked by dam dynamics way beyond the design basis envelope of Mirage 2000. The plane received a shock input temperature from the dam surge of at least  12 Million degrees C and a 1s downward impulse displacement of about 500m. See Table below. I apply the precautionary principle to derive these values to get a ball park estimate of the tragic entry of the plane into a high temperature brush up with the dam surges. Dam surges present a rigid envelope in which the plane gets entrapped. Of course these engineers and the plane companies - both local and foreign are trained only in specialisations. A farmer who has studied the problem said way back in 1972: "In living in this world by his own will and skill the stupidest peasant or tribesman is more competent than the most intelligent worker or technician or intellectual in a society of specialists.“ And Mahatma Gandhi's infinite perspicacity made him claim in Hind Swaraj in 1908:
"Given enough time modern civilization will destroy itself."

Modern civilization's destructive power is beyond any airplane design anywhere any time.

This article is a big zero because it ignores my work on dams as the principal cause of many catastrophes befalling the wild man and his industrial revolution. In living in this world by his own will and skill, the stupidest peasant or tribesman is more competent than the most intelligent worker or technician or intellectual in a society of specialists- Wendell Berry In the Unsettling of America- Culture and Agriculture.
