The accident investigation reports are usually very well done. Its amazing these things come out of a government agency.

My first 6 years of engineering life, I spent half my time designing and building the flight data and cockpit voice recorders, for Sundstrand Data Control. Those black boxes you look for after people die (I’m proud to say I was on the team that created the very first solid state recording units of both types).

Also was the company technical resource on a few investigations and saw first hand how the FAA/CAA operate. They are extremely thorough and accurate, as when there is a crash, usually hundreds die, and if it’s an aircraft problem, there could be tens of thousands more lives at stake.

Trying to make tech-head points over which OS was running a non-essential software reporting tool (a tool which still operated, by the way) is extremely grisly and in VERY poor taste.
