Not to rehash an old post, but sounds like Spike may have had a point.

Men of "exceedingly high integrity" would not have allowed a program to be rushed to the level of being horrendously unsafe. I'm glad the NTSB report calls a spade a spade. I hate seeing pilots blamed when they are not here to defend themselves, so I too am relieved this did not happen.

Terrible tragedy that should have never happened.
