My point is, Mahon never attempted to blame any person(s), throughout the whole inquiry, for this accident. He and others were merely investigating what the causal factors may have been. He was, of course, hindered from the start by unrelenting screams of "pilot error" from the government and Air NZ, but he carried on methodically and with great professionalism. He was afforded many accolades for the way he conducted the inquiry and the findings, which have already been acknowledged here.
"Others" will continue with the pilot error theory but we know now it was the administrative failures in the structure of the airlines' Antarctic operation that contributed most to this disaster.
There have been apologies from Air NZ and the NZ government which are on public record.
