Media Advisory Banner

​The NTSB is communicating investigative information, as we have for years, on ntsb.gov, Instagram, Facebook ,YouTube, Flickr, LinkedIn, through email at mediarelations@ntsb.gov and, since June 2016, on Twitter, now X​. There has been no recent change to NTSB communication policies and no outside interference into our processes and procedures.

NTSB continues to use all of our available platforms – website, email, and social media – to share investigative news with reporters and the public about the NTSB’s more than 1,200 active investigations. Also, to make it easier for the public and media to access information on major accidents, we create individual webpages to share investigative updates, reports, and recommendations. Visit the Jan. 29 midair collision near DCA airport webpage for updates. You can also visit the webpage for the Jan. 31 Learjet 55 crash in Philadelphia​.  


To report an incident/accident or if you are a public safety agency, please call 1-844-373-9922 or 202-314-6290 to speak to a Watch Officer at the NTSB Response Operations Center (ROC) in Washington, DC (24/7).
