NTSB also said investigators still do not know who worked on door plug before it blew out mid-flight

The head of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said on Wednesday that investigators still do not know who worked on a Boeing 737 Max 9 door plug involved in the 5 January Alaska Airlines midair emergency and that video footage was overwritten.

The NTSB’s chair, Jennifer Homendy, said in a letter to senators that investigators sought security camera footage when the door plug was opened and closed in September but were informed the material was overwritten. “The absence of those records will complicate the NTSB’s investigation moving forward,” she said.

The NTSB said previously that four key bolts were missing from the door plug that blew out on the plane.

    Just arrest the boeing board already. They’ve shown that they won’t learn without force.

      I’m pretty sure that would be a massive due process violation. Don’t get me wrong, I’d happily violate the board, but cutting corners like that would torpedo the prosecution’s case. A mistrial or an acquittal resulting from prosecution’s fuck-up would probably be the worst outcome – after all, that’s the reason Cosby is a free man now.

        Corporations are people until it comes time to make criminal arrests.
