Flight Safety Detectives Episode 43: NTSB still not onsite, co-pilot makes up the rules
PAMA

A recent accident in Buffalo prompted two senators to write a letter to the NTSB asking for an onsite investigation. The Board responded that they are not visiting accident scenes and deferred to the FAA for on-scene information gathering.
