The database, called the Automated Case Tracking System, was run by defense firm Lockheed Martin.
Air Force officials for now dont believe that the crash was caused deliberately.
Right now, we dont have any indication of that.
The database also includes records of congressional and constituent inquiries.
Lockheed refused to provide any explanation to specific questions about the incident.
