The National Transportation Safety Board has been called in to help investigate the plane crash that killed singer Jenni Rivera and six others in northern Mexico over the weekend.
Rivera, 43, had performed a concert in Monterrey, Mexico before boarding a Learjet25 early Sunday morning.
The flight took off around 3:30 a.m. and was reported missing 10 minutes later after airport officials lost contact with the pilots, Mexican authorities said.
Rivera’s makeup artist, lawyer and publicist, as well as the flight crew are all believed to be among those killed in the crash, CBS News reports.

Why? Why are we involving ourselves in this?
Next act: “the gringoes are covering something up.”
So every accident, no matter where in the world it occurs, should be investigated by the US if a citizen is involved? That, quite simply, is madness. No wonder this country is bankrupt.
The plane was registered to Starwood Management of Las Vegas, Nevada....
Short answer, probably yes.
Accident investigations are not why the country is bamkrupt.
NTSB serves us much better than TSA.
My car is registered in California. If I drive to Mexico and have a traffic accident, should the California Highway Patrol get involved?
“She’s a U.S. citizen... wouldn’t you want the NTSB to investigate your crash?”
I don’t think NTSB would investigate any ole’ U.S. citizens crash. I’m going to say this and flame if you want... the reason they are going to investigate is because of the minority group she belongs and she was a singer. IMHO.
I suppose that would depend if you trust the Mexican Highway Patrol to bet to the bottom of it. /s
Every bit of excessive federal government spending has made us bankrupt, including investigations of accidents that happen on foreign soil.
Is that a trick question?
Oh, and how many people died in your accident? Was there a faulty Mexican GPS unit involved, possibly?
What I want, and who I would trust, is irrelevant.
Irrelevant.
Bosh. If some Mexican authority dropped the ball on the investigation, you’d be the first here screaming to high heaven.
Come on, let’s not get crazy here. If we are ever going to win again, we’ve got to stop sounding like curmudgeons.
The NTSB is often asked to assist with accidents in other countries. We have the best investigators in the world, and what we learn from any accident investigation, no matter where it occurs, benefits all aviators and passengers.
Again, we should be the thinking, rational party. Leave the uninformed knee-jerk reactions to the libs.
