...... The
independent witnesses word carries more weight. Look at the history of
these sad cases.

yes, you ought to. Independent, uninvolved witnesses usually don't know who
the players are, what they're hearing or seeing, or even what the hell is
going on in the first place. Doesn't matter whether you're talking about a
shooting, a car crash, or an aircraft crash. Interview enough "independent"
witnesses, and you'll eventually hear what you want to hear. 50
witnesses -- 50 "facts". happens all the time in aviation disasters.
