All you said is true - but these investigations are often used for the purpose of determining financial liability and often that comes down to figuring out that one, immediate, proximate thing that caused the accident.
A whole bunch of things might have gone wrong, but if only you hadn't done/not-done that one thing, we'd all be fine. So it's all your fault!
- _n_b_ 11mo agoRespectfully, have you ever actually read an NTSB report? They're incredibly thorough and consider both causes and contributing factors through a number of lenses with an exclusive focus on preventing accidents from occurring. Also, they're basically inadmissible in court [49 U.S.C.§1154(b)] so are useless for determining financial liability.
