The incident occurred at approximately 11:37 p.m. ET on Flight 8646, operated by Jazz Aviation air canada NTSB Chairman Jennifer Homendy said the express banner collided with an airport rescue and firefighting vehicle as the plane landed on Runway 4.
The cockpit voice recorder (CVR) was determined to be undamaged after being transported to the NTSB laboratory. washingtonWork on the D.C. and flight data recorders is expected to begin on Tuesday, Homendy reported. Port Authority and emergency crews cut an incision in the top of the plane and removed the cockpit voice and flight data recorders.
The National Transportation Safety Board is optimistic the devices will clearly show whether a technical glitch or miscommunication caused a fire truck to be on an active runway during landing. Officials warned it was too early to draw any conclusions and more findings were expected soon.
Homendy said the agency has a wealth of information about the crash, adding that they must verify it before releasing it to the public.
“We now have a lot of data, a lot of information, including information about tower staffing,” Homendy told the media.
“But the NTSB is dealing with facts. We’re not going to speculate. We’re not going to believe a word from anyone. We’re going to double-check that information before we provide it. That’s something we still have to do,” she said.
