Investigation
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada records M94W0039 in Appendix B of report M18P0230 on the later George H. Ledcor casualty. The entry provides historical context rather than incident-specific findings. [1] The same report explicitly lists the earlier Savage Warrior investigation report M94W0039 among published reports. Its full findings were not recovered from the accessible official and archive searches.
