		The National Transportation Safety Board is charged by Congress in accordance with Title VII of this Act with the responsibility of investigating civil aircraft antecedents and to report the facts, conditions, and circumstances relating to each accident and probable cause thereof.
		The Board cannot assume responsibility for the recovery of bodies, crowd control for the purposes of public safety, the recovery and removal of wreckage that may constitute a public danger or nuisance, or normal police, fire, and rescue services.

	National Transportation Safety Board - Safety Recommendation
		The recommendation is derived from the Safety Board’s investigation of an October 13, 2001, work zone accident1 involving a school bus that plunged off the West Papillion Creek Bridge in Omaha, Nebraska, and is consistent with the evidence it found and the analysis it performed.
		The National Transportation Safety Board determined that the probable cause of this accident was the failure of the Nebraska Department of Roads to recognize and correct the hazardous condition in the work zone created by the irregular geometry of the roadway, the narrow lane widths, and the speed limit.
		The Safety Board concluded that some emergency exit levers and signage were obstructed and not clearly visible and may have hindered the evacuation of the bus after the accident.
