National Transportation Safety Board (USA)

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is a U.S. government agency responsible for investigating transportation accidents across various modes, including aviation, highways, railroads, and pipelines. Its primary goal is to determine the causes of accidents, identify safety issues, and recommend improvements to prevent future incidents. The NTSB conducts thorough investigations, collects evidence, interviews witnesses and experts, and issues detailed reports. While it does not have regulatory authority, its findings influence safety regulations and policies, helping to enhance overall transportation safety nationwide.
