The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is an independent U.S. government investigative agency responsible for civil transportation accident investigation. In this role, the NTSB investigates and reports on aviation accidents and incidents, certain types of highway crashes, ship and marine accidents, pipeline incidents and railroad accidents. When requested, the NTSB will assist the military with accident investigation.The NTSB is also in charge of investigating cases of hazardous waste releases that occur during transportation. Deborah Hersman was appointed as NTSB Chairman in July 2009.
It has investigated over 124,000 aviation incidents since its establishment.
The NTSB is normally the lead organization in the investigation of a transportation accident within its sphere. However, this power can be surrendered to other organizations if the Attorney General declares the case to be linked to an intentional criminal act, although the NTSB would still provide technical support in such investigations. This occurred during the investigation of the September 11, 2001, attacks when the Department of Justice took over the investigation.
The NTSB may investigate incidents or accidents occurring outside the United States under certain circumstances. These may include:
• accidents or incidents occurring to American-registered or American-owned aircraft (other than an aircraft operated by the Armed Forces or by an intelligence agency of the United States) in foreign airspace if the aircraft both departed and was scheduled to land in the United States. This has happened on rare occasion with respect to flights to and within Alaska that have crashed in Canada.
• accidents or incidents occurring to American-registered or American-owned aircraft in countries without a transportation investigative board.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is an independent federal agency responsible for investigating civil transportation accidents in the United States. Its primary purpose is to determine the probable cause of accidents and make safety recommendations to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
