OBERSTAR THREATENS NTSB CHAIRMAN'S POSITION

Congressman Jim Oberstar said Friday morning that "in my mind, Resenker's chairmanship is in jeaopardy." Oberstar criticized the Chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board earlier this week for saying recently that a design flaw caused the I-35W bridge collapse. Oberstar said he wants Mark Resenker to change his statement because the board has not yet arrived at a probable cause standard. Oberstar said he will meet with Resenker next week and ask him to recant his statement. The company that designed the bridge no longer exists. If a design flaw if found to be the cause of the collapse the legal liability of the construction company repairing the bridge and State of Minnesota may be diminished.
