The sixty-sixth weekly "No shit, Sherlock" award

After a break for Christmas and the New Year the "No shit, Sherlock" award returns and it's a classic. This week's award goes to the BBC for reporting that:
"computer software faults may have caused the 1994 Chinook helicopter crash on the Mull of Kintyre"
I read this in 'Computing' and 'Private Eye' in the late 1990's and since.

So for just learning that "computer software faults may have caused the 1994 Chinook helicopter crash on the Mull of Kintyre", the BBC win this week's "No shit, Sherlock" award.
