7. We Have a Misunderstanding - I Was Not Referring to the NTSB

I believe the NTSB is professional in their assessments, although there is always the possibility of error in any human enterprise. I have no doubt my friend was merely repeating what her husband, an airline pilot told her. I can't imagine why he would lie, either. I'm afraid we are going to have to agree to disagree on this one.
