Government Shutdown Delays Hearing About Asiana Airlines Crash

Pushed from November to December

|

Because of the government shutdown earlier this month, the National Transportation Safety Board said this week that they are delaying from November to December a two-day investigative hearing about the deadly Asiana Airlines plane crash in San Francisco earlier this year.

Asiana Airlines Flight 214 on July 6 clipped a seawall and slammed into a runway while landing at San Francisco International Airport.

Three teenage girls were killed in the crash and more than 180 other people were injured.
