It makes me feel bad that I can't recall his name. I tried a Google
search of the newsgroup archives and didn't find it.


Google "N2992".

Nothing definitive was determined from a cause standpoint, but one
of the fuel injectors (which was used, not new) was found to be

That is slightly misleading. If you're talking about what caused the

If you're talking about why the aircraft crashed the way it did, the
answer was pretty clear.

For those interested, see:

for an alternative (and IMNSHO, a far more accurate) evaluation.
