华盛顿，3月8日（路透社） – 美国国家运输安全委员会一名共和党成员周日表示，他于周五被白宫无理由解雇。
托德·英曼（Todd Inman）是唐纳德·特朗普总统第一任期内交通部长埃琳· Chao的前幕僚长，自2024年4月起在NTSB任职。他曾在2025年1月20日发生在里根华盛顿国家机场附近的美国航空公司航班与陆军直升机相撞事故中担任现场委员会成员，该事故导致67人死亡；此外，他还参与调查了2025年11月从肯塔基州路易斯维尔机场起飞的UPS货运飞机坠毁事故，该事故造成15人死亡。

白宫未立即回应置评请求。周日，英曼的名字已从NTSB网站上移除。路透社看到的NTSB发给高层领导的电子邮件显示，英曼的职务已被终止。
NTSB拒绝置评。
2025年5月，白宫解雇了当时的NTSB副主席阿尔文·布朗（Alvin Brown）。布朗是佛罗里达州杰克逊维尔市首位非洲裔美国当选市长，他已提起诉讼质疑自己被解雇的合法性。
NTSB负责调查所有民用航空事故，同时调查公路、海运、管道和铁路等其他交通方式的重大事故，确定事故可能原因并提出安全建议。
英曼表示，在NTSB任职是莫大的荣誉。”目睹这些可怕的事故无疑对我和我的家人造成了影响，也以积极的方式改变了我对如何为出行公众监管安全的看法。”
上个月末，参议院确认了美国航空公司安全与效率管理总监、波音787机长约翰·德利乌（John DeLeeuw）填补布朗在NTSB的席位。

WASHINGTON, March 8 (Reuters) – A Republican member of the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board said on Sunday he was fired on Friday by the White House without any explanation.
Todd Inman, a former chief of staff to Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao during President Donald Trump’s first term, had served on the NTSB since April 2024. He was the on-scene board member at the American Airlines collision with an Army helicopter in January 2025 near Reagan Washington National Airport that killed 67 people and the November crash of a UPS cargo plane on takeoff from the Louisville, Kentucky, airport that killed 15 people.

The White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Inman was removed from the NTSB website on Sunday. The NTSB told senior leaders in an email seen by Reuters that Inman’s position was terminated.
The NTSB declined to comment.
The White House fired then-NTSB Vice Chair Alvin Brown in May. Brown, a Democrat who was the first-ever African American elected mayor of Jacksonville, Florida, has filed suit challenging his dismissal.
The NTSB investigates all civil aviation accidents. The board investigates significant accidents in other modes of transportation – highway, marine, pipeline and railroad – and determines the probable cause of accidents and makes safety recommendations.

Inman said serving on the NTSB had been a great honor. “Witnessing these horrible accidents have undoubtedly taken a toll on me and my family and has changed my perspective in a positive way on how we regulate safety for the traveling public,” Inman said.
Late last month, the Senate confirmed John DeLeeuw, who had been managing director of safety and efficiency for American Airlines and a Boeing 787 captain, to fill Brown’s seat on the NTSB.
