It’s possible authorities know a lot more than they’re telling us here, which would be good news. I’m not concerns about knowing what happened here because I think I’m entitled to answers. I’m only concerned because a lack of information like this is sometimes a sign authorities aren’t giving the crash the attention it deserves. For the sake of the victim’s loved ones, my hope is authorities here continue work to get them clear answers about what happened.
