3. Legal Boffins said Capt. Collins was innocent. Again, I don’t give a crap what they say said either.
4. My ‘issue’ has never been about whether Capt.
Collins was or was not accountable for the accident. My issue was, regardless of who was at fault, the Muldoon Government and Morrie Davies lied, stole, hid and covered up facts, and acted corruptly and with malfeasance. That has and will remain my issue through this entire accident and subsequent 40 years. Capt. Collins, sadly, was one of several causal factors, but not the root cause. Dead men can’t speak for themselves, and it’s been a sham how he has been treated in absence of being able to either defend himself, admit to error, or explain other actions that we will never fully know.
The other odd thing is Paragraph, Mahon gets severely criticised because the accident investigator did not have the chance to refute, comment or argue his findings because it was a commission of enquiry . Well no one mentions the fact that Capt Collins obviously has no chance to refute, comment or argue the inspectors final report, which blamed him and his equally dead colleagues for the accident. I agree with you in that its not who was accountable for the accident, all participants had a part in it, its the behaviour of Govt and the Airline after the accident.
