Here are some additional pictures of burner assembly from the hot section and an exhaust duct showing pings from the inside out from the broken bits of power turbine blades as they were ejected during the flight.

pics of exhaust duct with pings from the inside out proving the power turbine wheel started to come apart during flight and at the air speed seen by the investigators on the Garmin. When enough of the blades broke, the plane went down. The whole flight was about 58 seconds.

Default My overview

I would take the truth if it was my son's fault. I understand good pilots make mistakes. It doesn't mean they were a bad pilot. I started out believing the NTSB report. I found a report from a major news television show that found instances where the NTSB is at the crash site for one day and then leaves the investigation up to the manufacturer and/or Martinaire in this case. I found many aviation lawyers that believe that they do cover up accidents. I know, it sounds crazy but the government has lost my trust since this happened. It wouldn't be the first time the government kept something from the public. These pictures don't lie. The investigator company, Aeroscope, really had nothing to gain from making this up. My lawyer wouldn't waste his time if he was given a inaccurate report about the crash. He would ultimately lose the case and get no fee.

Default Immature email I received from Facebitten

I want to thank all of you pilots who I personally admire. You kept your posts professional and gave your honest opinion which is what I wanted.

All except one pilot on this forum, Facebitten or Eric Wasson, sent an email for my wife and I to read this past Sunday which was cruel. Why would any sane person send the email below to parents whose son died in a crash. His father is a pilot for American Airlines and he apparently couldn't keep the high demanding job you special folks carry out on a daily basis. I see he has been banned from this site for good reason.

So sorry for your loss, there for the grace of God go any of us,as to the email writer he clearly has issues, ignore him, he can not take anything from your son, or your love, and memories for, and of him. Peace to you.

Thank you, it did upset my wife to tears Sunday as she opened our email account.
There is just no excuse for that behavior. This person is also harassing my son's girlfriend at the time and 10-15 other women on a Facebook for female pilots.

Eric Wasson? Was he the one that was arrested on suspicion of being intoxicated prior to taking flight? Worked for American Eagle?
