NTSB
Description
NTSB plunges into the Kensington Indio tanker inferno alongside Coast Guard, EPA, state, and local forces, their hands too few to wrench oil from savage seas. They spearhead the mechanical failure probe—steering collapse, anchor rupture, relentless 18-knot drift hurling the vessel ashore—fueling a multi-agency siege against environmental cataclysm that tests White House resolve amid scandal shadows.
