Of course there could be all kinds of reasons for snags and hold ups but then if that is the case why not just communicate them? Not willing to engage seems Ivory tower.
Just saying.

I'm quite happy for AAIB to resist the rabid frothing of the news media for sensational information to fill their 24-hour outpourings, and instead concentrate on trying to work out exactly what happened...

While there are significant differences between the two events, the tragic deaths being the most obvious, I still prefer that the AAIB ensure that their enquiries is entirely focused on estblishing the facts, as far as it is possible to do, than responding to the demands of "the media"...
Just saying...
