If for no other reason, Yeager should have passed on ANY public comment
suggesting a DIRECT cause for the crash based on nothing more than the
fact that the investigation is on-going.


Yep, and saying that his remarks were honest, or that they are accurate and
correct, may be out of line, also. Reports say that he was already
diverting around the weather, and he took an unlucky lightning hit.

Any talk of what he should have done, or what happened is pure speculation.
We were not there to see the conditions, or how quickly they closed in on
him. Speculation surely won't bring him back.

At the risk of using another cliché, sometimes, your number is up.
