The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) member provided an update on the ongoing investigation into the midair collision involving an American Airlines passenger jet and an Army Black Hawk helicopter. According to the NTSB member, Todd Inman, the process of extracting data from the black boxes of the passenger jet will be a time-consuming task, expected to take several days.
Inman explained that the data recorder contains thousands of data points that need to be synchronized with various other factors from the plane. Additionally, the voice recorders will undergo a thorough review by multiple individuals to ensure accurate transcription.
