Trying a swing at what Lonewolf_50 asked about objectives in examining wreckage:
Not taking issue with premise that missile launch was accidental (not questioning the premise here, that is). Also not going into particular elements of the many - and sometimes varied - subject areas AIB reports usually reach.
Instead this incident appears as one which justifies, as well as demands, a complete investigatory work-up and report, even though some key questions won't be addressed (as earlier posts observed). If there is going to be a stronger push for realistic and still meaningful methods to address conflict zones much more effectively, having as full an Annex 13 process and resulting report very likely will be critically important. Certain ICAO Member States could, quite predictably, raise objections (fake or not) about stronger CZ initiatives. With a good, strong and complete Annex 13 process and report in one's briefcase, these cycical objectors could be told to pound sand -- though in the nicey-nice politesse of diplomats' lexicons, of course!
