Some interviews with NBC News were broadcast on Thursday's “NBC Nightly News”, and NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy has an unusual arrangement on the control tower of Reagan National Airport, which collides with helicopters and airplanes. “It's not a new thing for us,” he said. “Other tower has low personnel.”
“When this happened, we asked her about the normal staffing of the control tower when this happened.”
Later, he played the clip, where he asked Homendy, “What is the NTSB reaction to it?”
Homendy answered. “It's not a new thing for us. I've seen the personnel low in other towers.”
In another part of the interview, Holt asked, “Is this one of the worst fears for NTSB?”
Homendy said, “Yes, yes, and that's what I warned before the Congress when I finally testified aeronation safety, and this is just our worst fear. And here we are investigating tragedies that we have never seen. “
