And the correct answer should be somewhere between "politics" and "whatever"
The less visibility, the more chance people will stay away from the stuff.
Habsheim and
Ste-Odile have never been translated. It is true that both happened to French carriers on French territory, but many all over the world would have liked to read and learn from the work of the "experts" in this time of new technology introduction.
Bangalore is another case,
the second 320 to crash, two years before Ste-Odile. Indian authorities with participation of Canada took care of the investigation. The accident report is not a widely known document either.
To me, it is obvious the Etihad 340 "incident" report should have been published in English as well ... I will translate what I think is the most intriguing part in that report.
