I truly and honestly wish Brian and others who were affected by this accident the very best and hope they receive closure. At least the ATSB won't be re-opening an investigation. It is accidents such as this that cause immense and immeasurable pain for the innocent. Whether the PIC is responsible or not I truly do not know, but I am not surprised by the lack of apparent transparency that took place considering the RAAF came in to question. Whenever a government, one of its departments or one of its employees or its own practises are part of or are the entire root cause of the accident they 'go to ground'.
This was just one case. Lockhart is another, and of course over the ditch we had Erebus.
One day even a government, one of its departments or one of its employees will be rightfully held to account for its actions, but probably not in my lifetime.
Lest we learn
