Scene of the Accident
Commentary
Fortunately, the FAA has arrived on the scene to investigate the crash. The FAA is good at what it does. However, they typically take a very long time to do it. I’ve seen FAA and NTSB investigations last months before they’re completed. The problem with that is, victims and their families typically want answers in less time than that. In these cases, private investigations are always advisable. I’ve run several such investigations during my years as an attorney, and have always been able to get people the answers they’re looking for, and in a reasonable amount of time.
