HTN: Flight 3407 Briefings Loom

We could know more about what happened aboard Flight 3407 which crashed in Clarence and killed 50 people. The National Transportation Board begins three days of public hearings tomorrow in Washington DC. The board will hear testimony from Colgan Air, which operated the doomed flight for Continental as well as from the plane's manufacturer. Additional audio from the cockpit voice recorder will be released as well. So far officials say a combination of weather and pilot error are the leading factors. However, many questions still remain such as if the pilot had enough training on the aircraft, and if he too tired to be behind the controls. A final report is still months away.
