Squib,
I did not say I was there at the accident scene when it happened. Thus your quote of "I was there" is incorrect.
Perhaps, it was "second hand" as you suggest....but it came directly to me from the individuals that held the bits in their hands and did the inspection before and after the event. Their recounting of their actions was "first hand" to me.....and not by means of a third party.
How many people telling you the same thing independently does it take to form the opinion they are both telling the truth and are agreeing upon what they are saying?
Perhaps we can get someone at Bristow to pull up the accident report and tell us the final determination arrived at by the investigation.
