Probe Cites History of Overweight Flights, Inadequate Oversight in Crash That Killed 10 Off Alaska A recent report by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has laid bare a disturbing pattern of negligence and complacency within the aviation industry.
The investigation into last year's commuter plane crash off Alaska reveals that operator Bering Air had a history of overweight flights, while the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) oversight was woefully inadequate.
The tragedy is not an isolated incident but rather a symptom of a larger problem that has been festering for years.
