   Dear Orly,

   Eric Weiss-NTSB: …preliminary report 10 to 15 days from the crash…full report with probable cause and recommendations could take between a year and 18 months.

   Struhsaker-NTSB: Engine may not be investigated until after the holidays.

   “Maui police Lt. William Juan has said the NTSB is involved in determining a cause of death. However, the NTSB says that’s up to Maui County.”

   NTSB: Officials still trying to determine Fuddy’s cause of death

   Excerpt:
   It could take some time before officials determine exactly how Hawaii Health Director Loretta Fuddy died, said the lead investigator for the Molokai plane crash.

   It’s common for a cause of death not to be immediately known in these types of investigations, Hawaii-based National Transportation Safety Board investigator Jim Struhsaker said today.

   …It’s been a week since an autopsy was conducted. Fuddy’s funeral is scheduled for Saturday in Honolulu.

   “Most people think cause of death is really simple … and usually it’s not quite that simple,” Struhsaker said.

   Maui police Lt. William Juan has said the NTSB is involved in determining a cause of death. However, the NTSB says that’s up to Maui County.

   “I am the lead investigator over the accident but I don’t have jurisdiction over the county,” Struhsaker said, adding that the NTSB can provide information that will help determine a cause of death.

   The investigation involves interviewing the people who were near Fuddy in the water, Struhsaker said.

   Meanwhile, Struhsaker was making arrangements to ship the plane’s engine in a crate to its manufacturer, Pratt & Whitney Canada, in Montreal, where it will be taken apart for analysis.

   “I know this is a priority item for us,” he said, but noted it may be after the holidays before it can be examined.

   Pilot Clyde Kawasaki said there was a loud bang when the plane lost power in what he described as “catastrophic engine failure.”

   A salvage dive team recovered the engine from the ocean earlier this week. “The Pacific has had its way with it for five days,” Struhsaker said.

   The NTSB could issue a preliminary report 10 to 15 days from the crash, said Eric Weiss, a spokesman for the agency in Washington, D.C. A full report with probable cause and recommendations could take between a year and 18 months.

   They recovered the plane and engine. They making arrangements to ship the plane’s engine in a crate to its manufacturer, Pratt & Whitney Canada, in Montreal, where it will be taken apart for analysis.

   The NTSB web site shows information from their investigations. Because they haven’t been able to examine the engine in this crash, they have nothing to report at this time.

   #3 Ron, probably Obummer did it by exec order.
   I am wondering which top-dog calls the shots at NTSB.

   Here we are, appointed/re-appointed by:
   the score is Obama-3, Bush & Obama-2

   https://www.ntsb.gov/about/board.html

   Deborah A. P. Hersman, Chairman
   Hersman was first appointed as a Board Member by Pres Bush in 2004 and reappointed to a second five-year term by Pres Obama. Appointed Chairman by Pres Obama in 2009, 2011 and 2013.

   Honorable Christopher A. Hart, Vice Chairman
   Designated by the Pres (Obama) for a 2-year term as Vice Chairman of the Board on August 18, 2009. In August 2013, Pres Obama nominated him for a second term as Board Member, and he continues to serve as Vice Chairman.

   Honorable Robert L. Sumwalt, Member
   Sworn in August 2006, Pres George W. Bush designated him as Vice Chairman of the Board for a two-year term. In Nov 2011, Pres Barack Obama reappointed Member Sumwalt to an additional five year term

   Honorable Mark R. Rosekind, PhD, Member
   June 30th, 2010 sworn in. He was nominated by Pres Obama.

   Honorable Earl F. Weener, PhD, Member
   Took the oath of office on June 30th, 2010. He was nominated by Pres Obama.

   I am reserving my judgment about a fair and unbiased investigation.

   Spirits friendly to President Obama are watching. You have been rendered powerless.

   Those friendly Obama spirits
   are destined to burn in
   a far off land, called Hades.

   Give it up, KW.

   Ms. KW is now a co-conspirator in murder. IMO.
