## Transcript

I have seen and heard some reports about a 4, 000 per minute foot 4, 000 foot per minute descent rate. They have reviewed the radar data, and the group that reviewed the initial FAA radar data have indicated. That there's no abnormally steep decent curve that's been detected in the data that they have. The lower portion of the tail cone is in the rocks at the sea wall. And there was a significant piece of the tail of this aircraft that was in, in the water. Our investigators have also documented additional aircraft parts that are visible when low tide occurred. There have been a lot of questions about one of the fatalities with respect to a, a emergency response vehicle.

We are still looking at this issue. It is a very serious issue and we want to understand it. The coroner has not yet determined the cause of death, and so we wanna make sure that we have all the facts before we reach any conclusions. We are reviewing video, airport surveillance video to understand also what happened. And I will tell you at least the initial read of the video. By our investigators. They shared with me that it wasn't conclusive, so we really need to work and talk with people, conduct additional interviews, and let the coroner do their work.
