The Air Force, blaming its commanders and crew
The Air Force is blaming its commanders and crew, along with poor airport design, for the plane crash that killed Commerce Secretary Ron Brown and 34 other people in April. The accident report released today says commanders did not give Air Force crews operating in former communist countries the right training to deal with poor safety conditions at some of those airports. The Brown party was trying to land at Dubrovnik, Croatia, when the plane crashed, killing everyone on board. NPR's Martha Raddatz reports the analysis also blames the pilots for some of their decisions.
