If the pilot was flying where the controller told him to fly it is hard to pin the blame on the pilot. The alarms not sounding are cause for alarm.

It's Brazil.

The pilots are American's. 

The controllers are Brazilians.

Of course they'll pin the blame on the Americans. 

They'll actually probably try to pin the blame on George Bush.

This does not comport with a report I heard yesterday. That the small plane pilot was ordered to descend and did not.

"The alarms not sounding are cause for alarm."

Until the black box is recovered from the crashed Boeing, you don't *know* if both alarms weren't sounding.
