NTSB Blames FAA for Fatal Crash

The National Transportation Safety Board is about to drop the hammer on the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) over last year’s deadly plane-helicopter crash near Washington. It’s not looking good for the FAA.

What Went Wrong

The NTSB is set to vote on the probable cause of the crash and make some recommendations. Don’t expect the FAA to get off scot-free – it’s clear they messed up. The board’s report won’t pull any punches, and it’s likely to be a real wake-up call for the FAA.

It’s ridiculous that it took this long to get to the bottom of things, but better late than never. The NTSB’s findings should lead to some serious changes at the FAA. It’s about time someone took responsibility for this disaster.
