Mangalore: Crash Committee Gets One-month Extension, Further Delay Likely

Quote:

Mangalore, Aug 13: The term of the Court of Inquiry set up to go into the aspects leading to the Air India Express air crash at the local airport on May 22 this year, has been extended by a month. The report should have been submitted by the inquiry committee by August 31, and it had sought a month’s extension till September 30, which has since been permitted.

The extension was sought, as the committee is yet to receive the medical examination report on the pilot, blood test report on the aircraft’s crew, and report on the remnants recovered at the spot of the crash. The committee cannot complete its report unless these details are received by it. Moreover, it is yet to hold the mandatory second public hearing, which is expected to be held during the first week of September in the city.

Sources however, said that the committee might not be able to submit its report even by the September 30 deadline. It may take two to three months more to complete its report, they added.

In the meanwhile, in reply to questions raised by MPs, Nalin Kumar Kateel, and D V Sadanand Gowda, the union government has said that it has been decided to equip the local airport with new ATC Automation System, in addition to the MSSR N-Route Radar already provided to it. In its reply, the aviation ministry said that the airport here has approach lighting system for only 420 metres as against the standard 900 metres, but stressed that this conforms to the norms of the International Civil Aviation Organization.

They want one month more for a document which from the current circumstances seems will be no better than the script of a C-grade movie coming out of Bollywood.

From the day this very unfortunate disaster happened i had fears for this. Principle says that any accident should be investigated to the deepest detail and accuracy , not for blame game but to avoid such happenings at all cost.
Now firstly is the investigation completely over because it does take more than a couple of months for these ,and if it is indeed over would the actual facts be ever visible to so called "common people" or the people who actually care . No they will not just a scripted report to satisfy media and ministry will come and will be forever buried in some clumsy room among thousands of files in our super efficient DGCA India office.
Ultimately like other incidents (railways/bomb blasts/kashmir) this also will be forgotten in the sands of time except those who lost their beloved ones .

Can a RTI be filed to obtain the CVR and DFDR data ?
That is the only way the truth can be heard.
