Bill English gives his second and final onsite briefing about the accident investigation. I am surprised that a large (over 12,500 lbs.) turbine powered aircraft in a scheduled operation is not required to have a CVR or FDR. Is this one of those cargo cutouts in the FAA regs?



Here's the customary NTSB b-roll video that the media splice into their news reports about the crash:

The crew names have been released:

CHARLESTON, WV (WCHS/WVAH) — Yeager Airport has released the names of the two victims in Friday’s deadly plane crash.
