The NTSB will hold a two-day investigative hearing on the door plug incident in August, the agency announced on Tuesday.
The NTSB said Boeing is blocking it from getting all the information it needs.Derricke Dennis has more on the concern over failed safety audits.
"To date, we still do not know who performed the work to open, reinstall, and close the door plug on the accident aircraft," Homendy wrote to Sens. Maria Cantwell and Ted Cruz. "Boeing has informed us that they are unable to find the records documenting this work." During her hearing in front of the committee earlier this month, Homendy informed lawmakers that Boeing had not yet handed over documents needed in their investigation, including the names of 25 people who worked on the door plug.
Homendy stated in her letter that she then contacted Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun after receiving the list and asked for the names of those who performed the work. Calhoun "stated he was unable to provide that information and maintained that Boeing has no records of the work being performed," according to Homendy's letter.
Following the hearing, Boeing said in a statement to ABC News that the company has responded "comprehensively" to all NTSB requests with relevant information.
