With the greatest of respect at this time, I still wish that US posters would
consider the outside world. I find it difficult to believe, genuinely, that
after what happened last week, people still have the mindset that US-based
agencies somehow have worldwide authority and access. The NTSB is a US agency,
and any scheme like this - which in my mind has great merit - would need the
oversite of an international agency to work.
