Dear Mr. Castellanos,

Thank you for your follow up answer.

I think the CRM group is all very interested to hear if there were human
factors involved.
We have to wait till all investigations are completed but if we hear some new
facts I (we) really appreciate it.

This gives me also the opportunity to thank all others for their follow up on
my question.
Thank you.

Best regards,

Ernst Geuzebroek
