Officials Recover Key Evidence That Could Help Explain Cause of Deadly Plane Crash

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) announced Wednesday night that it has retrieved the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder from the Bombardier CRJ700 that was involved in the deadly midair collision over Washington, D.C.

The devices, which are critical for understanding what happened in the final moments before the crash, have been transported to NTSB labs for analysis.

How this helps the investigation

Flight data recorders store key information about an aircraft’s altitude, speed, and flight path, while cockpit voice recorders capture conversations between pilots and air traffic controllers.

Investigators will analyze these recordings to determine whether human error, communication failures, or mechanical issues played a role in the collision.

NTSB officials have not given a timeline for their analysis but said findings from the recorders could provide crucial insights into how and why the two aircraft collided.

The agency has already reported that only one air traffic controller was working a position normally assigned to two people at the time of the crash, raising further questions about staffing and operational procedures.
