What happened to Mr Neilson?
He was stabbed to death at his house by a relative whose family died in the TU154.
That man is currently serving a prison centre.
Mr Neilsen has been...I don't remember the exact word, but it amounts to exonerated,or absolved, more or less, at the recent legal proceedings.

Shame the world's media didn't follow up on the original story. Immediately after the crash, the media pretty much fingered Peter Nielsen as responsible. By the time it was starting to become clear that (of course) it was a little more complex than that, I guess the news was too boring for them.
Not that it would have made much difference, I guess. The poor relative was probably half crazy with grief by then, anyway.

But it might have.
