CSB Investigation Report to Drop Today?

Overnight the CSB updated the graphic (see copy below) on their home page showing statistics for recommendations made in their accident investigations. The number of recommendations increased from 1019 to 1025 and the number of open recommendations increased from 117 to 123. This would seem to indicate that the Board has completed one of the nine open investigations, though there is no announcement of a report on their site.


Digging into the site a little more closely we see that there are still nine open investigations on the Current Investigations page, with the oldest being the Dow Louisiana Operations Explosions investigation. The Board’s Recent Recommendation Status Updates page shows at the top of the list: “Cuisine Solutions Ammonia Release (0 Recommendations)”. That investigation is the second oldest on the Current Investigations page, with the release occurring on July 31st, 2024. I expect that the investigation report for that incident will drop today or tomorrow.
