Whenever I see someone speculate on the cause of an aircraft accident based on the evidence you had at the time, it only reinforces their lack of credibility.
Nothing personal, mind you, but professional aviators know better than to go down that road. |
Velo - Accident investigation has always been something I have been interested in. My Grandfather investigated a TWA mid-air in Ohio in the 60's and it was fascinating to look through the box of stuff he had regarding that. What kinds of accidents have you investigated? Have you gotten some satisfaction from the work? What prepared you to be an investigator? Thanks in advance!
