It was really nice seeing the chairman outside of the press conferences held for transportation accidents. I never really thought about what he, or any of the other NTSB board members or investigators did before working for the agency. His memory amazes me the most...I'd forget me head if it wasn't screwed on so tightly.

How do you know that Ara Zobayan "succumbed to pressure that he placed on himself" to continue to fly??!
Did you talk to him that morning??!
Are you a mind reader??!

You don't know that's what he was thinking at all!!

That's just an asinine assumption!
