The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) will only issue recommendations on changing rules once the full report on the incident is finished, according to board member Todd Inman.
Inman stated, 'Once this investigative report comes out, we will be advocating – probably for years – for changes that need to be made. We will not speculate on what needs to be done until we have the facts.'
He mentioned that typically, multiple layers of redundancy would have prevented the collision, emphasizing that this incident 'should not have happened.'
NTSB has a track record of issuing over 15,000 recommendations on various investigative incidents, with approximately 84% of them being accepted by agencies such as the Federal Aviation Administration.
