Three days of hearings this week showed no shortage of recriminations between federal officials as the government investigates the fatal crash by Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in January that killed 67 people.
Tensions were high during the National Transportation Safety Board’s series of investigative hearings, as the panel grilled Federal Aviation Administration and U.S. Army officials about the collision between a military Black Hawk helicopter and an American Airlines passenger.
FAA officials reportedly tried to blame the crash on NTSB’s “bureaucratic process.”
