A preliminary report from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) reveals that the cockpit voice recorder of the medical plane that crashed in Northeast Philadelphia lacked audio recordings, likely having been inoperable for years. This finding raises questions about the safety measures in place for such flights, especially as the crash resulted in significant loss of life. The report indicates that no distress calls were made prior to the incident, and the absence of recorded audio may hinder further investigations into the circumstances surrounding the tragic event. Residents in the area are seeking a return to normalcy following the crash.
