Commentary:
Does anybody know if the crash was due to a flaw in the plane, or did a company that maintain the aircraft do a poor job? There are several reasons that planes make emergency landings, and determining what went wrong in this accident may actually show the crash was a result of somebody simply slacking off on the job. Now many people would assume that the National Transportation Safety Board would discover this, and sure, they may, but they may discover it a year, or a year and a half down the road when their backlogged cases are completed. This time duration can eat away almost 75% of the time victims are alloted to file a claim should one be necessary. To get around these long times, an independent investigation can be arranged, much like a second (faster) opinion from a doctor with a medical diagnosis. Independent crash investigators are not burdened with a backlog of cases from all over the country, and usually find details much faster than an overworked government agency.
