Report says staffing in control tower was 'not normal' at time of mid-air crash

Gabe Cohen from CNN inquires if the NTSB has reviewed an FAA report cited by The New York Times, suggesting a controller was performing a task usually done by two people during a crash. The NTSB has not reviewed specific reports yet, as their investigation is ongoing. They are gathering information, including personnel records and fatigue data. The NTSB emphasizes they cannot speculate on media reports until they validate the information and understand its impact on the investigation.

What is the role of the leadership team in the investigation process?

Why can't the NTSB speculate on the reports mentioned in the media?
