NTSB Investigative Hearing: UPS Flight 2976 Crash During Takeoff

A May investigative hearing remains the busiest video in NTSBgov's currently active collection, during a week with no new uploads. "NTSB Investigative Hearing: UPS Flight 2976 Crash During Takeoff" has reached about 41,000 views, offering a detailed record of the National Transportation Safety Board's examination of the Louisville cargo-plane crash.

The hearing concerns an MD-11F that crashed shortly after takeoff, killing its three crewmembers and eleven people on the ground. The May 20 session moves from opening statements into design and certification requirements for pylon separation, then turns to aircraft systems routed through and near pylon attachment points. Those specific engineering questions, rather than a brief accident overview, give the recording its purpose.

Other active uploads offer shorter routes into the agency's work: a safety recap of a school bus departure and overturn near Millstone, West Virginia, and Chair Jennifer Homendy's second briefing on a Boeing 767-300 cargo airplane's runway excursion in Miami. The Miami briefing has accumulated more than a quarter-million views.

The channel's subscriber count was unchanged over the week, while daily views are running slightly above their usual level. Its weekly audience was also similar in size to that of Citizenship and Immigration Canada's channel. For NTSBgov viewers, the week's material is in the existing library, with the UPS hearing providing the most sustained technical examination.
