WASHINGTON – U.S. Sens. Mark R. Warner and Tim Kaine (both D-VA) issued the following statement:

“We thank the National Transportation Safety Board for their work investigating the January 29 tragedy at Reagan National, and for issuing today’s preliminary report and findings. We must take every step necessary to make sure an accident like this can never happen again. While the full NTSB investigation continues, we appreciate the willingness of the Secretary of Transportation and the Federal Aviation Administration to immediately implement the urgent safety recommendations from today’s preliminary report.”
