Notification of cease of investigation of OA Flight 815
DOD Letter, WF-520/ 138 dated November 2, 2004
1. This is in response to the referenced letter from the Department of defense requiring immediate supension and discontinuation of all investigations into the crash of US bound Oceanic Flight 815. As stated in the reference, due to the ongoing classified practices occuring in the suspedted crash location, The DOD has denied access citing "Nationnal Security". At this time, we have suspended all investigations.
2. Defense contractor, HANSO, currently working in the restricted area will continue the investigation and forward all unclassified information to the FAA. Before departing Fiji, any and all documents pertaining to the investigation will be hadded over to the aforesaid contractor.
3. As of now, the cause of the failure leadting to the crash of 815 is unknown Mechancal records do not indicate any known problems with the aircraft. The 815 airplane had less than 23,000 hours flying time, the other under 42,000 hours. A weather anomaly in the area when radio and radar contact were lost is the most likely cause of the complication leading to the event.
4. In view of the circumstances listed above, we consider that no further investigative action be required by FAA, excepting further information from the DOD. The cause of the incident of OA 815 should be determined as UNKNOWN and all case files closed and sealed.
