Right now, they are taking advantage of a man who has left this world and cannot speak for himself. They say he was flying at an improper angle. They say he committed an error. Is this reasonable? Who has seen it with their own eyes? Who saw that the angle of the plane was too steep?A family member has been lost, says Li’s son-in-law. To have to hear such accusations and blame is only making the family angrier, he says.Son-in-Law of Deceased PilotThere are black boxes. They’ve been recovered. We should wait for the black boxes to be inspected before making judgment. We are victims, too.It will take time to fully understand what actually happened in Wednesday’s accident and to know more about the actions taken by Li, a veteran pilot with 22 years of experience.
