"Any news from the NTSB's noon press briefing?"
I didn't catch it all, but from other reports, there doesn't seem to be anything new. An AP report said they are interviewing the ATC and are also going to drive the taxi-way this afternoon in a large truck (with a high vantage point) to see what the pilot might have seen. They are also planning to do the same thing tomorrow morning at the time the plane was scheduled to see it again in the dark.
I thought they might do that. It would be better yet to have the same make of plane do it with the NTSB observers on board.
