The NTSB says staffing is something they are looking at, not just at the moment of the collision, but in the days and weeks leading up to it. The board says they have begun interviewing the controllers who were on duty that night. But again, board member Inman did not want to speculate on whether that was a factor in the collision.

There will be exemptions, for example, for medical emergency flights, for law enforcement activity, and VIP movements. And investigators continue to pore over that area of the river where the two aircraft went down. The victims included the flight crew, three soldiers, competitive figure skaters from the U.S. and Russia, a civil rights lawyer, and dozens of others.
