Is Mexico going to foot the bill?

[Steely Tom]

Why? Why are we involving ourselves in this?

Next act: “the gringoes are covering something up.”

She's a U.S. citizen. Would you want the NTSB investigating your crash?

Probably want to start with the center fuel tank. ; (

When I was a little shorter in the tooth I helped surgeons in New York and New Haven who were experts in certain rarefied fields operate with laparoscopes on patients in places like New Delhi on their lunch breaks. We called our new technologies "telemedicine."


No, we didn't have "jurisdiction." But we sure saved lives, and the research we pioneered led to many more lives saved.


The difference between a TSA agent and an NTSB researcher is that one is a pizza-faced high-school grad control freak piglet whose aim is to make minimum wage, sniff panties and make innocent people feel uncomfortable and victimized.


The other is a student, scientist, materials expert, researcher, and out-of-the-box problem solver on some of the most complex and deadly cases imaginable whose aim is to kick failure in the ass and save lives... Maybe (probably) yours. If you've ever flown, you have NTSB agents to thank for their tireless, 24-7 / 365 / WORLDWIDE dedication to learning from EVERYTHING they can touch, making flying as safe as it is, and safer every day.

The plane was registered in the US and I would assume had an American pilot. The crash of an American plane flown by an American should be investigated by the NTSB regardless where it take place or the nationalities of the passengers.
