It wasn’t until I took a step back and considered the broader picture that the answer clicked. This clue is all about the process, the investigation itself, not the aftermath. So, what organization focuses on uncovering the causes behind accidents?
Let’s break down the clue and explore the potential possibilities.
Here’s what we know:
“Accident-investigating”
– The organization’s primary function is to investigate accidents.

Professional Associations:
Are there professional organizations dedicated to accident investigation? Perhaps focused on a specific industry like aviation or maritime?
Independent Organizations:
Could this be a non-profit organization dedicated to accident prevention and research?
These are just a few starting points. As always, the key is to think outside the box and consider the many potential angles. What do you think the answer is?
