jake. >> speaking of the ntsb, jennifer hammondy is with us, the chair of the ntsb. let me start with the question on a lot of viewers' minds. what do you say to americans who read about constant train derailments and plane near misses and wonder what the hell is going on? >> that's a great question, jake. it's really tragic what's happening right now. we are investigating many of these tragedies, whether it's a near collision in our air space or on the ground or whether it's a derailment. we will get to the bottom of all of this and issue safety recommendations. one thing i can tell the viewers is, our aviation system is the safest in the world. it is the gold standard. when it comes to rail, generally our rail system is safe. certainly we would not want to see more tankers on our roads, where thousands of diane diae annually. >> your agency is sending investigators to west central ohio to investigate this second train derailment by norfolk southern. what are you specifically looking for? what are you hoping to learn? >> right now the team is on the ground. it sound

the faa, the ntsb, and the media. you've all contributed to our reputation as the global gold standard. we can't take that for granted. i agree with the secretary and billy when he says that. i often hear, intent of the last 12 years, there have been no airline passenger fatalities. that's true. but the absence of a fatality or an accident doesn't mean the presence of safety. let me state that again. the absence of a fatality or an accident doesn't mean the presence of safety. there's always more we can do to improve safety and we can't forget that. we can't forget those who did die. because people did die in those 12 years. not just in 121, but also part 91. the ntsb never forgets. not a single life lost. zero is and always will be our goal.

the ntsb says clear air turbulence is a big problem. remember that the top cause of incidents onboard commercial airliners according to the ntsb is turbulence. it's a big risk to passengers just another reason why you should wear your seatbelt sign even if the sign is off. a risk to the flight crew azer this up and walking around. not all that unsimilar to the issue on a hawaiian airlines flight back in january when that flight enwent through turbulence and some passengers were hurt as well. >> pete, thank you for filling us in. >>> speaking of aviation, president biden's embattled pick to lead the faa phil washington was grilled by lawmakers at his confirmation hearing yesterday. washington is now the ceo of denver international airport, has been on the program before, previously held roles at municipal transit organizations, led the biden/harris transition for the transportation department. a resumÉ he cited while on capitol hill yesterday. >> as a military veteran and leader of three large transportation organizations, my broad trans

let's bring in our cnn aviation analyst and former managing director at the ntsb.ust, the secretary says. >> good to see you. >> what does that mean that there is rust? what does it mean for a pilot for an airline? >> well, you know, the secretary and the administrator, the acting administrator, were largely talking in generalities and platitudes this morning. the only person that went forward with specific steps to be taken today to make the skies safer was jennifer homandi from the ntsb. as mr. cohen pointed out there are seven open recommendations on runway incursions that go back years. the faa needs to either act on these recommendations or identify why they're not. secondly, she pointed out that the most important step was extending the reporting time of the cockpit voice recorders from two hours to 25 hours. they don't have the information to decipher and determine what happened at these events because the recorders only record two hours and they don't catch the event because they record over them. those two steps alone can advance safety today if they were

that chair, the ntsb chair, jennifer homendy, joins us now. thank you for being here.faa said it is moving ahead with the recommendation that you have been pushing for, which is to make black boxes on board, specifically the cockpit voice recorder, record much longer before resetting -- to this point, from two hours, as it is today, to something like 25 hours. how is this going to help with everything we have been discussing? >> well, a great example -- or the six runway incursions we are investigating, all the cv ours were overwritten. >> and that means what. when you say they are overwritten? >> that means we have none of the data from the two hours that it recorded and that is helpful for our investigations but it's also help for the helpful for the airline operators to improve safety. >> it sounds crazy that that is not available to this point, that is just now happening. it really does. >> that's right. >> i've also heard -- and this kind of blew my mind, that you said there's another recommendation, still not enacted, that the ntsb has been pushing for for 24 yea

another incident where it was a close call the ntsb says the number of so-called runway incursions --it can be just a vehicle or aircraft in the wrong place. not all are that serious however, the ntsb says they hav been on the rise that is part of the reason why the faa decided to call this rare summit today to try to get a handle on what is going on >> is it because of the volume of air traffic >> that's a question that they are looking at demand is extremely high, as you know, since demand increased since the covid pandemic the question is, is that stressing the system just too much there have been layoffs across the airline industry has that been contributing to this also, the ntsb is actually -- they are renewing their calls for longer cockpit voice recordings they have been saying this for several years. they say they want more than two hours. right now the cockpit voice recorder capture two they want 25 hours so they know what is going on inside that cockpit. the question is, is this something that can be fixed? is it a question of training is it a question of needing more air t

mary, before the technology got in the way, we were talking about the authority that the ntsb has tote when it comes to these derailments that we've seen on a number of norfolk southern trains. what is the power they have if, in fact, they do find a consistent issue? the power to mandate change? >> well, unfortunately, they don't. the ntsb will make probable cause findings, what factually caused these accidents to happen, and then they make recommendations. they make recommendations to the federal administration, to the department of transportation, and, of course, to the senate, but that's where their power ends. they can only make recommendations, and then they have to look to other parts of the government to pick up the ball and carry it and turn them into regulations, rules, safety guidelines, et cetera. >> okay, so, as we wait to see all of that, what the recommendations could be, we also have this reporting from tom foreman just before the break, a warning that there could be nearly 700 rail cars across the country that are defective, suffering from this loose wheel issue. how

the ntsb doesn't want that, but they need it. or the faa needs to be more proactive in listening to the different elements. in recommendations on the table -- individual recommendations on the table, some of them have to do with spacing. which gets into the heart of the same problem that existed in austin, how much distance do you have to have between an arriving airplane and one that is taking off on the same runway? kristen: any other ideas or actionable items steps coming out of today's summit? >> i'm sure there will be. i was very pleased to see in not only the preambles of the faa mp buttigieg's office -- and pete buttigieg's office, it was the human factor. fortunately these were not accidents. we have a long list of contributing factors, some rooted in some form of human failure. so great is that back in the 1980's, we learned people were still going to fail no matter how much we didn't want them to and no matter how much we trained them but if we made systems to absorb those failures, we could get to zero, and that is wha

that is an ntsb recommendation, and we hope that's acted upon.neil: we're learning as well, chairman, that these cars sometimes are sort of contracted out, in other words, if you need additional cars for a train, you get them from an outside source. i mean, what are the company's obligations, in this case norfolk southern or any other rail concerned, to make sure those cars are up to snuff, the bearings are right, they don't risk falling off the tracks? >> well, everyone bears responsibility. first, you have to make sure your tank car is safe, and that could be from any of the leasing companies, it could be from a company that's transporting their materialses and they've loaded the tank car. but certainly, the entity that is responsible for transporting these commodity es -- commodities, they have to insure that those train cars, those rail cars are inspected, that they're adequately maintained and they're safe for movement. that is their responsibility. neil: what about, you know, a company's past record? norfolk southern did not have many blots

the ntsb is now opening a special investigation into the company. what the ntsb finds, what can it do in terms of forcing some changes within that company to make it safer? >> well, the ntsb by itself traditionally does not have any regulatory authority. the ntsb has the ability to make recommendations to the federal railway administration. the federal railway administration is the government entity that has regulatory and safety oversight. so it has the ability of introducing additional regulations, introducing fines. it has specific legal oversight capability. >> a lot of us are really tuning in to train derailments for the first time in quite a while or perhaps in way we hadn't in the past given what happened in east palestine, ohio, and some of the other recent derailments. do you see this as just another, you know, derailment, another string of derailments that just happens, or is this perhaps well a watershed moment for the entire industry? >> well, in looking at the derailment statistics, the federal railway administration maintains a very go
