There have been several high profile accidents involving planes all across the country, and I can’t help wondering how that’s testing the limits and capabilities of the NTSB. If they’re handling so many different complex accidents, it make be challenging for them to address all the needs and concerns of the victims and families involved. That’s usually when there needs to be independent professionals helping folks so they can be sure they’re going to get the answers they deserve. I doubt this accident would prove differently.
