Thumbs down Curiouser and curiouser...

The report has been released to the people directly involved it seems, and the main cause of the accident is engine failure due to a thrown blade just after lift-off leaving an unflyable plane. No surprises there so far.

However, can someone please help explain how the fact that Martin had recently resigned and what the soil was at Xakanaka airstrip had to do with the PT6 throwing a blade?? They are not listed as direct causes but are contributing factors?? If Martin was in charge of maintenance or had direct responsibility for the engine it might be applicable but he didn't.

To quote a local phrase "now, me myself am confused"....
