This thread seems to have gotten little traffic recently. As some might be aware, we have been following public developments quite closely. My colleague Jörn Stuphorn has performed a (very) preliminary Why-Because Analysis of the accident from the publically-available information. The Why-Because Graph of the accident is discussed in a presentation at the Ninth Bieleschweig Workshop in Hamburg in May 2007:

I would particularly like to know:
* Who is investigating the accident now? (CENIPA, a Policia Federal, CIP, who else?)
* Who can bring criminal charges? Who has jurisdiction over criminal proceedings? And who not?
* Who can bring civil charges? Against whom? For what?
I would be grateful for any information. If this info isn't of general interest, maybe private message would be appropriate.
