So, the much expected revelations were never made. Understandably why most reporters who attended yesterday's press conference, granted by the General Manager of the Cameroon Civil Aviation Authority, left unsatisfied. We still have to wait (for another year?) to get the results of the much talked about research on the causes of the crash of Boeing 737-800 belonging to Kenya Airways which took place on 5th May 2007 in Mbanga Pongo.
We are told that the results gathered during exploration missions in Kenya, Côte d'Ivoire, Benin and the USA, are still to be analysed. Never could imagine that evaluating results could be so difficult! Anyway, it must be really complex scrutinising these particular findings, especially as the principal protagonists had already started blowing punches at each other. It is therefore difficult to say if we will ever be elucidated on which of the two hypotheses - technical fault or human error, was responsible for the crash.
Will this turn out to be one of those everlasting investigations? We have become very used to them, anyway. Enquiries whose results are never made public abound! I might be pessimistic. But one year is too long a time for the public to be enlightened on the real causes of a crash whose technical details are already known.
