    It’s simple enough and is done all the time to protect confidential and identifying information. If the reports contain information useful in the trial – use them. Any first-year law student could school these guys on redacting.

    The problem is that you can probably figure out who made the report from the details of what happened, and if you redact those it would be useless.

    well, this sounds like a very safety issue of the runway not having enough clearance to launch. it appears that more than one person made the claim. if so, then why was this not resolved? why, if known to be short, was this runway given to launch the aircraft? if the airline knew, why did they allow the pilot to fly an aircraft in or out? it was bound to happen and the loss of life 49/50 is a very costly price. i think that this could and should deserve everyone involved from the airline/pilot/airport/traffic controllers. they contributed to the loss of life.
