NTSB Sends Team To Assist In Lion Air Accident

Boeing 737 Missed The Runway At Ngurah Rai Airport In Bali, No Fatalities Reported

The NTSB has sent a team of investigators to assist the government of Indonesia on its accident investigation of an accident involving a Lion Air Boeing 737-800.

On April 13, 2013 at about 3:15 p.m. local time, the airplane went down on approach to Ngurah Rai Airport, due to unknown circumstances. There were no fatalities reported.

As the U.S. is the state of design and manufacture of the Boeing 737, NTSB Chairman Deborah Hersman has appointed Senior Air Safety Investigator Dennis Jones as the traveling U.S. accredited representative. Dennis Jones is leading a team of investigators specializing in airplane structures, systems, and survival factors, as well as advisers from the FAA and Boeing. The investigation is being conducted by the Indonesia National Transportation Safety Committee which will release all information.

The Lion Air 737 reportedly missed the runway on approach to the airport in Bali and impacted the water, splitting into at least two pieces. The Associated Press reports that authorities there are in the process of removing pieces of the wreckage from the water and transporting them to another location so that the investigation can proceed. Divers have already recovered the flight data and cockpit voice recorders from the wreckage.
