There are a few governments that
none of will accept as honest brokers in accident investigation.
If flying-bird really wants something close to the truth, she might take a look at the professional aviation press. They aren't perfect, they may have axes to grind, they've certainly got rags to sell, but they are the closest thing we have to a complete story.
Most of these folks at least have professional licenses and writing skills, and
may take the time to explain the not-so-obvious; if you don't understand the jargon, you are
sure to jump to the wrong "answer".
