"To date, we still do not know who performed the work to open, reinstall, and close the door plug on the accident aircraft," NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy wrote Wednesday in a letter to leaders of the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee. "After NTSB received this list, I called Boeing Chief Executive Officer David Calhoun and asked for the names of the people who performed the work," Homendy wrote.
