Guatemalan Flight Data Recorder: Is This Funny?

Here is a spanish language video reporting that authorities investigating the crash of an Aero Guatemala Flight in La Masilla have recovered the plane's flight data recorder and begun to release limited information about what may have happened onboard flight 1134 prior to the crash. Preliminary reports point to equipment failure as the likely cause. The flight data recorder suggests that the Fairchild F27 suddenly lost altitude and plummeted out of the control of veteran pilot Manuel De Iglesias and his crew. The clip shows a source from within Aero Guatemala, his face hidden to protect his anonymity, stating that the company had known of and ignored reported problems with the aging engine, a claim which Aero Guatemala denies.

Is this funny?
