Very close family friend of mine was lost in this accident. I'll never forget William Burnette III aka Bernie. He was a fiercely loyal friend and confidant to me, my wife and my boys. Cheers buddy.

The one that went down? No. The civilian on that was from a different company, and that was under different circumstances.
SNC has had other issues involving lack of SA or risk taking out here, not involving crashes.
ETA: It's not just SNC. There is another company that they work hand in hand with that have the same issues. The people I work with from SNC are good guys.
I would chalk it up to guys that do what they can to try and accomplish the mission to the best of their ability. Unfortunately, things tend to get overlooked, ignored, and/or forgotten, and bad things happen.

I would like to apologize to Vat_69, the members of this board, and the family and friends of those that have had to say an early goodbye to someone they love and care about. My comments seemed shallow and took away from the tragedy that took place. This thread has been eating at me since I made my first post in it. My sincerest apologies to everyone here. I know your pain and should have posted something more appropriate when my head was more clear.
