crash report

(I should have posted this information a while ago, please forgive my delay)

In an interview with a reporter from a major US newspaper, the Director of Flight Standards in Thailand claims:
1) The DCA was told in July 2007 that Thailand's aviation was "seriously deficient". Obviously, no meaningful action was taken by the DCA.
2) According to this person, completed crash reports for the Surat Thani crash and the explosion (center fuel tank) in Bangkok exist but have never been made public.
3) The report for OG269 will not be completed until March 09 (despite all the BS claims by Withichai and Chiasak) and - he says - will be made public due to increased interest in this crash.

By the way, the DCA has given One-Two-Go permission to resume flights. (In reality, One-Two-Go has been illegally flying internationally Orient Thai routes Hong Kong to Bangkok since Oct.)
