crash investigations
Post-wreck official examinations
Crash investigations are formal inquiries into the causes of accidents, typically involving aircraft, vehicles, or other transportation.
Investigators examine wreckage, analyze data recorders, interview witnesses, and reconstruct events to determine what went wrong: The crash investigation revealed metal fatigue in the wing assembly.
The goal is usually to prevent future accidents rather than assign blame.
