Six Flags initially said in a statement that it was “working with authorities” to figure out what happened. But it later had to admit that it was running the investigation itself because there are no authorities to work with.
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." Samuel Adams, (1722-1803)

Texas Deathtrap Roller Coaster Company Will Investigate Itself, For Freedom
“With No Safety Oversight, Six Flags Will Investigate Roller Coaster
Death Itself,” says a U.S. News headline that we totally could have
written. Does it surprise you to learn that this death trap of an
unregulated roller coaster is in Texas? No, of course it doesn’t. Does
it surprise you that there are absolutely zero elected or appointed
officials charged with coordinating the legislative, bureaucratic, or
legal ramifications of such a death? No, it is Texas, so this too is
unsurprising.
