What troubles us is that the automatic pilot was functioning up to a certain point, and then it was disengaged, possibly by human action.

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.

That is part of the investigation which I cannot discuss at this point.

There apparently was a lack of oxygen, which is usually the case when the cabin is de-pressurized.
