Wikipedia description:

Peter Thomas Mahon (1 November 1923 – 11 August 1986) was a New Zealand High Court judge. He led a one-man Commission of Inquiry into the 1979 crash of Air New Zealand Flight 901 into Mount Erebus. Contradicting the previously issued official report, his inquiry determined that the flight crew was not at fault and instead "incompetent administrative procedures" within Air New Zealand were to blame. Mahon famously and controversially concluded that the airline's witnesses presented "an orchestrated litany of lies" in their responses to the inquiry.
