Thank you WESTHAWK for posting the NTSB report(prelim). I am on their mailing list and haven't gotten it or the ebersol crash either.
WOW.
there is an axiom that once the thrust reversers are out you should stay on the ground(not reattempt takeoff).
I say that somehow the southwest midway crash has put some things in people's minds.
But if the thrust reverser deployment lights indicated thrust reverers were not deployed on the citation then taking off might have been the right thing to do.
yikes
