Waiting for reports....

In this case, it may be appropriate to wait for the official report, but I am very familiar with one crash where the report was forwarded to the authorities in a small Pacific nation over two years ago, and it has not been released yet. The frustration is that the report addresses an (at least superficially) similar crash. (Loud bang, parts seen to depart the aircraft, fire, blade located away from crash site.)

The significance is that the report advanced a novel explanation for why the blade failed and caused the crash, and IMHO it should be available for the investigators for this case, even if only to discount that cause for this event.
