Facts available within 2 or 3 days? How's this:

Was the Cessna doing touch and goes, or on a cross country flight? Were the planes in touch with the tower at the time of the accident? What part of the landing pattern was the jet in at the time of the collision?

These are knowable facts, and not conclusions. We should not have to wait for the convenience of the FAA or NTSB. More facts: Names of the dead. Yes, we got those soon enough. Furthermore, if the agencies don't care to talk yet, then the local police chief could have given a press conference, and declined to respond to awkward questions. And local press could have sought out witnesses and gotten some answers to report, but a search of recent press reports draws a blank. I have a feeling that there's a reason for the closed mouths.
