It was difficult to assign blame to any individual for the crash.

But going around assigning blame to people that are trying hard, I don't think that's the answer.

I thought you people were trained not to assign blame.

Is it necessary to assign blame, and if so, how?

"The attempt is to stop trying to assign blame but instead work on solutions."

There was even little interest in assigning blame to one party or the other.

The full report is classified, and does not assign specific blame.

It was probably assigning blame for the failure even now.

Feel free to assign blame as you see fit, of course.

So if you want to assign blame, let's spread it around a little.
