Buffalo, NY – The National Transportation Safety Board has released addition information about the crash of Flight 3407 in Clarence last February. The NTSB says the information includes an extended version of the cockpit voice recorder.
It includes the release of the conversation between pilot Marvin Renslow and co-pilot Rebecca Shaw. Shaw complained that she felt ill and would have liked to have skipped the flight. Throughout the written transcript, it indicated where there were sounds of a sniffle and the sound of a sneeze.
The conversation began while the flight was being delayed in Newark before it left for the Buffalo region. The transcript also indicates that Shaw complained about poor treatment by Colgan Air. She discussed how little she was earning from the airline.
But the NTSB says the information being released is factual in nature and does not provide analysis or the probable cause of the accident. The docket includes investigative group factual reports, interview transcripts, and other documents from the investigation.
The plane crashed into a house on Long Street in Clarence Center in February 12, killing 50 people.
