since. most people assume that the communication system was turned off manually. but as i see it that can't be true. when the transponder is turned off or it sends a signal but according to the official report there wasn't any so i believe there was a technical problem. for you richard. jones greatest fear is that the truth might never be known now a final report has been released but it's still inconclusive without the wreckage no further findings a likely. jen doesn't even know if there's still an agency responsible for matters pertaining to the incident. which are. from my shoulder it's unbearable. the investigative commission is inactive anymore. but the relatives are still searching. for something i just can't accept that.
