Following such a serious accident, it’s important to know that investigators are working to tell this story from all angles. One of the main concerns families have after accidents like this is that the victim isn’t around to give their side of what happened. As such, it’s important there’s as much evidence as possible doing so in their stead.
Sometimes, authorities might be too quick or too shallow with their own efforts, merely scratching the surface and getting the most obvious details. An independent investigation is sometimes necessary to dig deeper and rule out even unlikely possible factors so the family can be certain they’re getting the whole story. It’s unclear right now if steps have been taken to get the full story here.
