ChoppaGirl, I’m sure I speak for all here when I express our genuine sympathy for you and all those so directly affected by this tragic event.
Im frankly staggered by the galactically “basic” rationale relayed to you by a statutory authority. I sincerely hope this triggers an appropriate investigation beyond that of simply the accident itself.
