DC plane crash: Top GOP lawmaker demands congressional hearing

Exclusive: A Republican member of the Aviation Transport Committee's small committee is seeking a fatal conflict between Washington DC's American Airlines Airplane and Military Helicopter.

“We say it's a gold standard. We need to keep maintaining that level,” said Fox News Digital, a member of the R-Texas chairman of the subcomat.

“I just want to sit with everyone [National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB)] The report is very accurate and fact, and make sure you think about some recommendations -and need to change the direction or change the course based on those recommendations. You need to check if it is. But we don't know yet. “

Nehls praised the Chairman of the Transportation Committee Sam Graves, pointed out his background as a pilot, and convened a party with a political party influenced by the Missouri Republican member. He said he would ask you to do. Nehls suggested a potential closed door meeting to enable more frank discussions, but also said that hearing was appropriate.

“After finding the reasons for the crash, I have to come up with the recommendations to prevent it from happening again,” he said. “We don't have to sit on this. I don't want to hear” it will take 18 months. ” I don't want to hear. “

And the federal investigator seems to be on the same page.

NTSB officials said they wanted to create a preliminary report in about 30 days.

“I think it's fair,” Nails said. “But it shouldn't stop doing this and do what we can do to help. I think Trump is expecting it. He expects it to us. I have a world.

And while he wanted a quick result, Nales emphasized the early speculation of who or what would accuse the tragedy.

“Everyone wants to guess how this happened and why this happened. Who is it? Is it a helicopter? Is it an airplane?”

“I think it's irresponsible. I think it is necessary to conduct a very thorough investigation just by giving time to investigate.”

However, the point and speculation have already been extended. Some people have blamed Congress by allowing a new airline contract at the Ronal Dragan Washington National Airport.

Others on the right, mainly, argued that the Democratic government's diversity efforts have helped tragedy.

“I think all of them are too early,” said Nales when he was asked about both.

So far, there is no evidence to support the crash conclusions and causes.
