TET
I too would like to see an independent AND COMPETENT inspection of the blades. Did they ever find the second blade or did I miss that?
It always amazes me that in any crash the suspect item is sent back to the manufacturer. Surely there is a conflict of interest there? Isn't it in the best interest of the company itself not to find a cause for which they are potentially liable?
I have seen one manufacturer overlook the scenario that is obvious to the IIC and fall back on a theory for which there is absolutely no evidence and which does not fit in with the failure features. And the FAA seems bound to accept their findings.
Sometimes I think that the only way to change this system may well be by litigation.
