      There has been a lot of controversy brewing from the Asiana Airlines flight 214 crash-landing that broke the plane apart and burst into flames short of the runway, killing 2 and leaving 180 passengers injured. The Air Line Pilot's Association International (ALAP) says that "the federal agency handling the investigation of Saturday's passenger jet crash in San Francisco had released too much information too quickly, which could lead to wrong conclusions and compromise safety". In a statement from Monday, ALAP stated "releasing data from the flight's black boxes without full investigative information for context encourages wild speculation  about the cause of the crash". If this is the case, the public, across the globe, would have enormous doubts about the safety presented to them by Asiana aircraft, and therefore hinder their actions with choosing Asiana in their future aircraft travels. I believe it is best to complete a thorough investigation that uncovers the real causes of the crash, before disclosing the information to the public, in order to decrease false speculation.
