ValuJet Prosecution

Noah talks with Willie Stern, a staff editor for Business Week magazine, about the news that federal authorities have begun a criminal investigation of the crash of ValuJet Flight 592. Stern says that the targets of the investigation are ValuJet and SabreTech Inc., an aircraft maintenance company that acknowledged it mistakenly labeled as "empty" a shipment of oxygen canisters that may have played a role in the crash. Investigators are examining the possibility that both companies may have lied to authorities after the crash.
