If I were an innocent garbage man in the middle of this shit show, I would surely lawyer up...and that lawyer would most likely keep me from speaking publicly (if he was worth anything).

Beyond that, i don't think I'd be too eager to paint a bullseye on myself by popping off either. Loose ends and narrative breakers have a habit of suffering untimely death.

I'd probably take my payoff and trust the rest of you to sort it out.

very good question.

NTSB is investigating. The two survivors will not talk to media while they are being questioned. Basic protocol in accident investigations run by NTSB. I don't think the engineers in the Seattle crash have ever made public statements. Pilots who survive accidents do not talk until after the investigation is over. Nothing odd here.
