Toshirozero,
"the US Navy was implicated directly in the accident as part of the ATS system in the Antarctic."

Are you sure????

"The last of these came towards the end of 1987 when representatives of the families of the dead crew members sued the United States Government for alleged failure of the US Navy Air Traffic Controllers at McMurdo to warn Flt TE901 that it was in danger. Relatives of the 237 passengers had received substantial compensation, but because the 20 crew members were working for a New Zealand company they were eligible for only the standard accident compensation, and proving negligence against an outside agency was their one opportunity to receive a higher payout".
