Question 4 • Principles of Fire and Rescue

Why did the NTSB investigate the charter bus crash in 2007?

Answer
A
They research influences of distracted driving on all vehicle collisions.
B
They investigate all hazardous-cargo incidents involving transportation modes.
C
They inspect all mass-transit vehicles in the United States that cross state lines.
D
They determine the contributing factors in MCIs involving transportation.

Explanation

The NTSB investigates transportation accidents to determine their causes and contributing factors, then makes safety recommendations. A serious charter bus crash that results in a mass-casualty incident fits that role. The NTSB does not inspect every interstate bus or investigate only distracted-driving or hazardous-cargo incidents.
