On Jan. 28, 2022, the 447-foot-long bridge experienced a structural failure and fell approximately 100 feet into the park below. Six vehicles were on or near the bridge when it collapsed and four people sustained injuries. Investigators found corrosion, deterioration, and section loss on all four of the bridge’s legs due to the continual accumulation of water and debris. This finding led the NTSB in May to issue an early safety recommendation urging the Federal Highway Administration to develop a risk-based, data-driven process to identify, prioritize, and perform any incomplete follow-up actions on bridges with uncoated weathering steel components.
During the board meeting, the NTSB’s board voted on the final findings, probable cause, and recommendations. The board also voted on all changes to the draft final report.
Additional information is included in the public docket for the investigation. The docket includes factual information, including reports, interview transcripts, and other investigative materials.
ntsb.gov/news/events/Pages/HWY22MH003-BMG.aspxNTSB Animation – Overview of the collapse of the Fern Hollow BridgeNTSBgov2024-02-21 | On Friday, January 28, 2022, about 6:37 a.m. eastern standard time, the Fern Hollow Bridge, which carried Forbes Avenue over the north side of Frick Park in Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, experienced a structural failure. As a result, the 447-foot-long bridge fell about 100 feet into the park below. The collapse began when the transverse tie plate on the southwest bridge leg failed due to extensive corrosion and section loss. The corrosion and section loss resulted from clogged drains that caused water to run down bridge legs and accumulate along with debris at the bottom of the legs, which prevented the development of a protective rust layer or patina. Although repeated maintenance and repair recommendations were documented in many inspection reports, the City of Pittsburgh failed to act on them, leading to the deterioration of the fracture-critical transverse tie plate and the structural failure of the bridge. At the time of the collapse, a 2013 New Flyer articulated transit bus, operated by the Port Authority of Allegheny County, and four passenger vehicles were on the bridge. A fifth passenger vehicle drove off the east bridge abutment after the collapse began and came to rest on its roof on the ground below. As a result of the collapse, the bus driver sustained minor injuries and two bus occupants were uninjured. Of the six passenger vehicle occupants, two sustained serious injuries, one sustained a minor injury, two were uninjured, and the injury status of one was unknown.NTSB - Our MissionNTSBgov2024-02-20 | This video is an introduction to the NTSB mission. As an independent Federal agency, the NTSB is charged by Congress with investigating every civil aviation accident in the United States and significant accidents in other modes of transportation – railroad, highway, marine and pipeline. The NTSB determines the probable cause of the accidents and issues safety recommendations aimed at preventing future accidents. In addition, the NTSB carries out special studies concerning transportation safety and coordinates the resources of the Federal Government and other organizations to provide assistance to victims and their family members impacted by major transportation disasters.NTSB B-Roll - Airbus EC-130 Helicopter AccidentNTSBgov2024-02-14 | February 11, 2024: NTSB investigators walk the scene of the Feb. 9 crash of an Airbus EC-130 helicopter near Halloran Springs, California.NTSB Media Brief - Airbus EC130 Helicopter Crash (Feb 11) livestreamNTSBgov2024-02-11 | February 11, 2024: NTSB Member Michael Graham briefs the media in Barstow, California, on the NTSB investigation into the February 9, 2024, crash of an Airbus Helicopters EC-130 near Halloran Springs, California.NTSB Media Brief - Airbus EC130 Helicopter Crash (Feb 10) livestreamNTSBgov2024-02-11 | February 10, 2024: NTSB Member Michael Graham briefs the media in Barstow, California, on the NTSB investigation into the February 9, 2024, crash of an Airbus Helicopters EC-130 near Halloran Springs, California.NTSB Webinar - Sharing the Road with Commercial DriversNTSBgov2024-02-06 | On Nov. 8, 2023, in collaboration with the National Distracted Driving Coalition (NDDC), the NTSB hosted a webinar, Sharing the Roads with Commercial Vehicles. Tractor trailers, heavy trucks, tankers, and other commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) are a common feature of America’s vast road network. Whether it be a large, urban metropolis, a medium-sized city, or a small, rural community, many of the goods and essential items brought to our stores and our doors probably arrive in a heavy truck. This means that wherever you drive, you are almost guaranteed to be sharing the road with these vehicles. This is a growing concern for some employers.NTSB National Youth Listening Session on Roadway Safety: Amplifying the Voices of Hispanic YouthNTSBgov2024-01-24 | The NTSB, in collaboration with In One Instant Teen Safe Driving Program, Florida Teen Safe Driving Coalition and Family Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA), will host the ‘National Youth Listening Session on Roadway Safety: Amplifying the Voices of Hispanic Youth.’ This moderated conversation will share the perspective of Hispanic youth from across the United States about their concerns and ideas for improving roadway safety.

This is a multimodal investigation with the Office of Marine Safety (OMS) and the Office of Railroad, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Investigations. OMS is the lead office.
The pipeline was shut down and isolated after oil was spotted on the surface of the water. About 588 barrels of oil are estimated to have leaked from the pipeline. A post accident examination of the pipeline found a crack running longitudinally along the top of the pipeline, and about 4,000 feet of the pipeline was displaced up to 105 feet to the southeast from its original location. Additionally, near the location of the pipe breach, the seafloor was scarred from apparent dragging anchors.
During the meeting, NTSB board members discussed safety issues related to this leak as well as the need for improvements to Vessel Traffic Service vessel monitoring systems offenders. The board voted on the probable cause and findings related to the leak and safety recommendations.
In 2021 a Challenger crashed in Truckee, California while circling to land that resulted in 6 fatalities. This accident, which was the result of an unstabilized approach, self-induced pressure, poor crew resource management, and a lack of leadership, has captured the business jet industry’s attention. In this session, NTSB Board Member Michael Graham will host a panel to discuss key safety topics and factors that contributed to the accident.

With their own laws and jurisdiction, data collection can be uniquely challenging to obtain. Crash data on Native Americans is underreported, and if reported, the statistics would likely be even higher. Privacy concerns, staffing limitations, and lack of equipment and training are all contributors to this struggle. Yet as we look at the data, Native American communities are a key demographic in need of outreach and advocacy.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA estimates 42,795 people died because of crashes in 2022, compared with 42,939 in 2021. But all communities and areas of the country are not affected equally. According to an article published by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), those who identify as American Indian or Alaska native are killed and injured at a rate 2 or 3 times the national average (BIA 2022 Annual Report). Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of unintentional death for American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN) ages 1–44, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Roadway to Safer Tribal Communities Toolkit, as quoted in Federal Highway Administration’s FHWA’s Tribal Government Safety Data.
This webinar is part three in our “‘Communicating and Connecting Safety Messages with Underserved Communities”' series, which supports Executive Order 13985: Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government.
