Did you see the television coverage, and the print media coverage, this week regarding the questions now being raised about the Swissair Flight 111 crash that killed 229 passengers and crew near Peggy's Cove Nova Scotia some thirteen years ago? A retired RCMP, Tony Juby, filed his last series of complaints in 2007 and eventually the-powers-that-be refused to deal with them. He is currently retired and is free of the restrictions that forced him to remain silent until now.
I lived in Halifax at the time and remember vividly the strangers from around the world who came to our city in search of answers about the death of their loved ones. Many couldn't speak English but we knew what they wanted and we helped them as much as we could. They walked around in a fog and I don't mean the fog in Halifax on any given day. Imagine how many of these family members feel now after having been told all those years ago by the Transportation Safety Board of Canada that an electrical fault in the overhead wiring caused a short circuit which in turn caused a fire in he cockpit - and that led to the aircraft slamming into the Atlantic ocean. Simply put - a safety issue.
No one is using the word bomb - it's called an incendiary device for the moment. For the moment.
I for one am sick about this and hope we all have some answers soon.
