I think it must be one and the same lady who is the subject of the NYT article and who posts here under the moniker 'investigateudom'. I salute Ms. Rind's persistence in the face of institutional corruption and incompetence and her courage in pursuing the truth of her brother's tragic death.

Aviation could use many more such people as Ms. Rind. In the course of trying to complete my degree I have encountered the most astonishing difficulty in obtaining reliable, consistent accident data, or even copies of investigation reports. These documents ought to be public records, and the fact that there is not a systematised publically accessible archive where they may be freely consulted is a shaming indictment of ICAO's lofty and oft-stated aims of agitating for the liberalisation (if you will) of safety related data in aviation.
