Scene of the Accident
Commentary
The FAA and the NTSB will come out and conduct their own investigation into the matter. That’s not a bad thing. They’re very good at what they do. However, they also take a long time to do it. As a matter of fact, their investigations can last months. Whenever you take into consideration the fact that victims of these accidents and their families have only a limited amount of time to do anything about it after being involved in an accident like this, those months of waiting for the investigation to be completed begin to look like a lot of wasted time. For that reason, independently-run investigations are always the preferred course of action. While an investigation run by the NTSB or the FAA is not geared toward helping the victims, an independent investigation is. They can tell victims and their families not only how an accident happened, but why it happened. And the importance of that information can’t be understated when trying to determine who’s responsible for an accident like this one.
