Accident Investigation - FSF`s syn

Citing ongoing criminal prosecution of Continental Airlines for the 2000 Concorde crash in Paris, the U.S.-based Flight Safety Foundation (FSF) is asking governments worldwide to form multinational, independent air accident investigation boards. The foundation has called upon an upcoming International Civil Aviation Organization “high level safety conference”–March 29 to April 1 in Montreal–to convene a group of legal experts “to urgently provide better protection of sources of safety information, including protection of witness statements and admissions of error against criminal prosecution, except in the most egregious of cases involving willful misconduct, drug or alcohol abuse or falsification.”
