Corruption in Political NTSB Board: Precursor to Numerous Airline Disasters The corruption in certain segments of the FAA was also in the National Transportation Safety Board's politically appointed board members, and made possible a series of fatal airline disasters. NTSB corruption arose from the fact that board members knew of the corruption in the Federal Aviation Administration, as one of them admitted to Stich, they knew of the related fatal airline disasters, and they refused to act. Even after Stich presented evidence of criminal cover-up during a four month series of administrative trial proceedings, during which Stich acted similar to an independent prosecutor, the NTSB continued to cover up. This cover up was made worse by the fact that three additional airline disasters occurred during the hearings. The cover-ups by the NTSB board members made possible the continuation of the culture of corruption and the crashes, which the NTSB addressed by falsifying their official accident reports on those airline crashes arising from the misconduct. This especially occurred in such crashes as (a) UAL crash at Salt Lake City; (b) UAL crash into Lake Michigan; (c) UAL crash during takeoff from Los Angeles; (d) UAL crash at Portland, Oregon; and others. When this culture within the NTSB is recognized, it becomes easier to understand the NTSB cover-ups in such disasters as the downing of TWA Flight 800 and American Airlines Flight 587 that occurred shortly after 9/11. It is also easy to understand why the NTSB remained silent about why known safety procedures that would have prevented the hijackings of four airliners on 9/11 remained quiet..
