Six NTSB accident sites

What it maps

The six accident sites the NTSB briefed in the user's library: the runway excursion at Miami International Airport [1], the UPS MD-11 crash at Louisville [2], the Air Canada/Jazz CRJ900 collision with a firefighting vehicle at LaGuardia [3], the Learjet 55 crash in Philadelphia [4], the Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 door-plug event at Portland [5], and the midair collision near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport [6], the investigation whose parties included Sikorsky and the Army for the CRJ700 and UH-60L [7]. Each pin is the site as the briefings name it, with the date, aircraft and what happened.
