NTSB Set To Consider Findings On Deadly Bus Crash

DALLAS (AP) ― The National Transportation Safety Board says it will meet next week to discuss its investigation into the bus crash that killed 17 members of Houston's Vietnamese community.

The public meeting Tuesday in Washington, D.C., will examine how a coach carrying 55 passengers to a Catholic retreat in Missouri in August 2008 skidded off the highway near Sherman, 60 miles north of Dallas.

The bus veered off the road when a retreaded tire on the right front axle deflated. Federal regulations prohibit retreads from being used on the front of buses.

Law enforcement officials have said preliminary reports from the NTSB indicate that the tire failed because of a puncture and not necessarily because it was a retread.
