NTSB public hearings /Sully
Do not know if this has been covered already in another forum in here , but I just went to see " Sully" the movie. As a non-US person I was extremely surprised to see this NTSB "public hearing" sequence , looking like a tribunal, with the 2 pilots accused of possibly having done something wrong and have to find arguments to exonerate themselves. In other words the NTSB guys acting as prosecutors and the pilots as accused and having to prove they are innocent.
Anybody here who has been there ? Did this really happen as described in the movie and in general does the NTSB really work like this ? I find it difficult to believe.
