The air force has never found the original cause of the fault, but in opinion statement concluded "clear and convincing evidence, the disaster reason is MP/accident pilot] failure, to identify and start a timely diving recovery for the channel attention, fault visual scanning, the space disorientation and unconfirmed."
The exclusive interview with ABC news in May 2012, haney sister Jennifer said, she immediately called air conclusion questioned, and believe that, in addition to the role of the original unknown fault, it seems obvious that her brother have faint, and try to save themselves.
