Abstract

We perform a Why-Because Analysis (WBA) starting from the information in the Executive Summary of the U.S. DoD Aircraft Accident Investigation Board report on the shootdown of two U.S. Army Black Hawk transport helicopters by U.S.A.F. F-15 fighter aircraft over Northern Iraq on 14 April 1994, during Operation Provide Comfort. We compare with the effort of Snook to perform a similar analysis.
