An American military refueling plane has gone down in Iraq and rescue efforts are underway. U.S. Central Command said Thursday that the KC-135 aircraft is part of the operation against Iran, but the crash isn't due to hostile fire or friendly fire.
J. Todd Inman, one of the five members of the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board, has left the investigative body, according to multiple people familiar with the situation.
The sudden development comes just days after the Senate confirmed John Deleeuw, formerly American Airlines’ safety chief, as its fifth member on Feb. 25, restoring the board to a full five-member panel. The reason for Inman’s departure was not clear at the time of publication.
