Maybe. <br /> <br /> It seems that a risk of 'big buckets' is ... throwing the baby out with the bathwater (see Risks List Item below).<br /> <br /> So how should big buckets be defined? Well, probably there should be some meta-criteria included in a bucket definition, e.g. "Impact on ... ". <br /> <br /> Examples might be: "Impact on Health," or "Loss of Life," or "Historical relevance," <br /> <br /> Theo Bucher<br /> <br /> ------------------------------<br /> <br /> Date: Thu, 4 Oct 2007 09:25:29 EDT<br /> From: KCKnowlton@aol.com<br /> Subject: Clues to 3 Plane Wrecks Could Be Lost in Files Purge<br /> <br /> The Air Force destroyed all records from unsuccessful searches for aircraft<br /> missing before 1989, which is likely to make it much harder for Nevada<br /> investigators to determine the victims of three wrecks found in the recent<br /> search for the aviator Steve Fossett ... One resource that had been<br /> expected to help in the inquiry was suspended mission files, kept at Tyndall<br /> Air Force Base in Panama City, Fla. Those files are the paper trails of all<br /> failed searches for missing aircraft by the Civil Air Patrol, a volunteer<br /> Air Force auxiliary group, or any other Air Force resources. But in 1994,<br /> the Air Force instituted a regulation requiring the destruction of records<br /> of noncombat missions after seven years.
