Day one of the NTSB hearing on the deadly UPS Flight 2976 crash in Louisville revealed a last-minute plane switch and pylon issues.
Investigators suggested that infrequent maintenance requirements, among other issues, appeared to contribute to the faulty part that caused the crash, which killed 15 people last year.
In Washington, the NTSB began a two-day hearing where federal safety investigators will question UPS, Boeing, the FAA and others about maintenance records and possible safety failures.
