NTSB Sends Team To Assist In Indonesian B737 Accident

The National Transportation Safety Board dispatched a team of investigators to Medan, Indonesia to assist in the accident of a Mandala Airlines Boeing 737 on Monday, September 5, 2005.

The three-member team is headed by senior NTSB investigator William English, the U.S. Accredited Representative named in accordance with procedures of the International Civil Aviation Organization.  He is joined by two NTSB specialists with expertise in airplane structures and aircraft engines, an investigator from the Federal Aviation
