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.

(Adobe PDF) Aviation Disasters Made Possible By Repeated Cover-Ups of FAA Corruption All forms of human tragedies have been inflicted upon the people of the United States from the corruption discovered by the people behind this site−and made possible by enablers in and out of government. The below pictures are only a sampling of the consequences from the documented corruption that are able to be portrayed graphically. The tragedies in other areas resulting from the corruption, cover-ups, and public indifference, are not shown here. United Airlines crash into New York City, the world's worst at that time. Withheld from the American public were the reports by federal safety inspectors-investigators showing a continuing pattern of corruption, fraud, criminal alteration of major government required records−and the standard abuse of those few inspectors attempting to require the airline management to comply with industry standards and clear requirements of federal aviation safety requirements−and FAA management to require compliance. None of the guilty, the enablers, to these and the continuing fraud-related crashes ever were held accountable for the hundreds of deaths that they enabled to occur. NTSB Falsified Accident Reports Included the Following, Among Others Most of the above crashes occurred on the program for which FAA air carrier operations inspector Rodney Stich had been given the assignment to correct the conditions responsible for the worst series of airline disasters in the nation's history. Pictures of many other crashes are not shown.
