I don’t want to speculate, [but] the NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) will come and investigate everything, and we’ll just have to sit patiently and wait for them.”The company said it will cooperate fully with the NTSB.”We run a world-class operation and unfortunately, [Friday], it failed for reasons unknown to us,” Gold said.
