00:00Yeah, the tragedy happened, we were being told by one of our eyewitnesses just a moment

00:05ago, very short distance away from the Pentagon.

00:09And ironically, it's the Pentagon that's carrying out the investigation into this.

00:13They've launched the investigation.

00:14How long do these investigations typically take?

00:17When might we have some more sort of concrete answers as to what happened?

00:21Well, Tom, you're right about the geography.

00:23This crash happened about three miles away from the Capitol, the White House, and the

00:28Pentagon.

00:29There are going to be two different investigations that go on here.

00:33One is going to be led by the Department of Transportation, or the Transportation Safety

00:37Board, and then the other one will be run by the United States Army.

00:42And they typically take three, four, or five weeks until they have gathered the data, they

00:49have assessed what happened, and then most importantly, have assessed why it happened

00:53to get to root causes and causal factors to try to prevent anything like this from happening

00:59again.
