NTSB to respond to ATR Roselawn petition
The NTSB has confirmed talk that the Board is “about to release” a report modifying some of its findings in the October 1994 crash of an American Eagle ATR

The NTSB has confirmed talk that the Board is “about to release” a report modifying some of its findings in the October 1994 crash of an American Eagle ATR 72 near Roselawn, Ind. But a Board spokesman declined to confirm details of further speculation that the changes absolve the French aircraft manufacturer Avions de Transport Regional (ATR) and French aviation authorities of a share of blame for the crash which killed all 68 people on board.

The twin turboprop was en route to Chicago O’Hare International Airport and had been placed in a holding pattern when the accident occurred.
