There seem to be a lot more questions than answers here. One of the main challenges with deadly accidents is making sure someone is asking all the right questions. I speak to families all the time who are surprised when authorities move on without really giving an accident the attention it needs. Perhaps authorities here are being more diligent, but sometimes it’s best that independent investigators are taking steps to ensure nothing slips through the cracks.
