First, there is no reason for a cover-up...aircraft crash from time to time...just like cars crash from time to time. If the pilot screwed something up, he or she will be held accountable.

Second, the residents did know they were in the flight path. Miramar has been there since the 1940s, before that area was ever developed. People bought land and built houses next to it, fully aware there was an airfield there. I don't know if you've ever been around an airfield with military jet traffic, but if you have, you'd know it's hard to ignore because they aren't the quietest aircraft. Any home buyer would have to know there was a military airfield there, or be deaf. So now it's the military's fault because people chose to buy a home right under the approach and departure paths of the aircraft that have been flying there for nearly six decades? Please...

This is a tragedy, no doubt. But it's stupid to start blaming the military and assuming they are working round the clock to "cover it up". Cover what up? It was a freakin' accident, people.
