I once heard an investigator say he would much rather investigate an accident
without witnesses because he felt he could do it better with just the
wreckage.
I have to admit to seeing this in myself. When I was going through a safety
officer course we were shown a film of a crash. Then we completed a test
with a series of questions about the crash. I started by getting the color
of the airplane wrong and it went downhill from there.
