Commentary
In cases like these, an independent investigation is always worth looking into. Investigations by the FAA and NTSB can sometimes go on for months before they’re concluded, and for victim’s and their families, that’s not always fast enough. I’ve run more than a few similar investigations in my years as an attorney and have always been able to get answers for those involved, and within a reasonable amount of time.
