I am actually not surprised. The NTSB is notorious for missing the point

like in car accidents. Otherwsie they conclude a pilot error due to loss
of control. I bet Bumper's investigation by just looking at the tow hook
was more thorough than the NTSB investigation.

Do you not have a govermental organisation like our AAIB in Leftpondia?

Their investigations and reports seem very thorough.

NTSB performs a similar function to AAIB but they are not only
responsible for air accidents, but all accidents in the national
transportation system, which includes road and rail. They seem to
investigate major accidents thoroughly. Their investigation staff may
be spread too thin to investigate accidents that don't have a
significant impact on public safety. Just speculation of course but it
does seem consistent with the standard of investigation that I have
seen for accidents that I knew something about before the report was
published.
