It's really unfortunate that the transportation disaster investigation model hasn't, uh, taken off in other sectors where the margin of error isn't so small that there's no alternative. Even in aviation, however, independent investigations by government (e.g. the NTSB) do not extinguish civil or criminal liability. Incident investigations are inadmissible in court, but civil suits and/or criminal prosecutions can be, and are, conducted as parallel processes.
