Washingotn DC [US], June 13 (ANI) - USA's top transport officials step up in wake of Air India crash tragedy
U.S. Secretary of Transportation conveys sympathies over Air India crash, initiates U.S. investigation.
Secretary of the US Department of Transportation, Sean Duffy, has expressed his sincere condolences for the heart-wrenching loss of lives in the recent Air India crash. In a poignant post on social media, Duffy expressed, "Oh boy, this one stings. Deeply saddened by the crash in India. Our hearts go out to the families who are grieving this tragic loss. Safety is the bloody priority here, and we're rolling up our sleeves to get to the bottom of this terrible tragedy."
Following the tragedy, Duffy and his team are working hand-in-hand with the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) to help India investigate the crash. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) investigators are set to touch down at the crash site, ready to do whatever it takes to grab the data needed to guarantee the security of air travelers. The FAA has already roped in Boeing and GE to examine any relevant information as part of the probe. As the NTSB takes the reins on the investigation, Duffy made it clear that they won't hold back on implementing any safety recommendations that might emerge.
The NTSB, an independent government agency tasked with scrutinizing transportation accidents and incidents, announced that a team of US investigators would travel to India to help the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau with its inquiry into the crash of an Air India Boeing 787 in Ahmedabad, India. The NTSB stated that according to international protocols, all information on the investigation would be provided by the Indian government as per Annex 13 of the International Civil Aviation Organization.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump described the Air India plane crash as a "bloody catastrophe," assuring India that they're ready to offer support immediately. "It's been a damn terrible crash," said Trump, "I believe most are gone. There might be a couple of survivors we've just heard about. This crash has been one of the worst in aviation history. I provided them some tips on what they might consider looking into, especially whether the engines lost power or if there was an explosion. We've seen the plane, and it looked like it was cruising fine. But who the hell knows what caused this bloody mess?"
As investigations continue, air travel safety remains under the microscope, with international cooperation expected due to the involvement of a US-made aircraft. The NTSB and the US Department of Transportation have yet to issue specific updates or safety recommendations directly related to the Air India Boeing 787 crash. However, updates are expected to be released as more information becomes available from the ongoing investigation.
