J. Todd Inman speaks about national transportation safety in Owensboro
OWENSBORO, Ky. (WEHT) — An Owensboro native who has reached national acclaim returns home to speak to members of the city's chamber of commerce. National Transportation Safety Board Member J. Todd Inman spoke at this morning's rooster booster breakfast. He served in several roles while living in Owensboro. Most recently he was the spokesperson for the investigation into that mid-air collision over the Potomac River. Trump EPA rollbacks would weaken rules projected to save billions of dollars and thousands of lives From the frontlines of national transportation crises, back to Owensboro. J. Todd Inman reflects on what leadership, community and service really mean to him. Inman served as Chair of the Greater Owensboro Chamber board in 2006. He returned Thursday as a proud Western Kentucky University alum and now national figure at the center of transportation safety conversations. 'We would like to be able to prevent disasters from happening rather than investigating them and then making recommendations. I was there on the two Boeing Max crashes occurred. I thought the first was a tragedy. The second was a travesty. So, I wanted to try to make a difference so I could try to help not let that second travesty occur again,' says Inman. Earlier this year, he was the spokesperson for the Potomac River crash investigation. 67 lives were lost when an American Airlines jet and Army Black Hawk helicopter collided. Inman offered transparency and compassion as he addressed the public and family members of crash victims, before helping to implement new safety recommendations regarding helicopter proximity. 'We found that the current configuration around DCA had to high of a level of risk in that planes could get too close. We saw that happen on January 28th…where slight variations outside of parameters were catastrophic. We need to build in additional buffers…You hope something else captures it. In this case, nothing caught it. You saw devastation. It's been 19 years since we've seen something like that. We'll get better. We'll learn from it,' says Inman. Rooster Booster also honored the newest Leadership Owensboro graduates. Future leaders heard from someone who was once in their shoes. 'Calvert City, Kentucky… 3000 people, two stoplights ,a national spokesperson. I came because they asked. I think they're proud, but I also want them to know it could be them at any point,' says Inman. Inman now lives in Arlington, Virginia. He says the streets he walked in Owensboro were the beginnings of his pursuit of purpose. 'I don't know a single person who lives in out building in Arlington, Virginia, I don't know their name, but here you're getting hugs. You're talking about children. You have ties [and] bonds. There are good people around, and I like being around good people,' says Inman. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

New York City's needed e-bike crackdown: Letters to the Editor — June 6, 2025
The Issue: The lack of serious repercussions for dangerous e-biking in New York City. I'm curious to know how many injuries must occur before the Department of Transportation focuses on pedestrian safety, rather than the convenience of cyclists ('Progs' E-Bike Insanity,' Editorial, May 31). In my neighborhood, a two-way bicycle lane was installed on Plaza Street East — a one-way street. Advertisement Now pedestrians must also remember to watch for e-bike cyclists coming from the opposite direction of the automobile traffic flow. I wrote to the DOT about this and got a response saying, 'We don't typically add additional signage because the more signage you add, the easier it is for people to ignore them. So, we try to minimize safety signage.' At this point, I've given up requesting assistance with this hazardous situation. Advertisement Perhaps The Post's articles will result in getting someone's attention. Neil Berman Brooklyn This is part of a giant hypocrisy of the left: When someone is doing something that comports with their leftist ideology — like law-flouting bikers, fare beaters or illegal immigrants — the left is fine with it. Advertisement But when it comes to driving a car or carrying a gun in the city — two innately constitutional activities — the left prohibits it or taxes it and tolls it to death. D.M. Markowitz Schenectady I was nearly hit by an e-bike while walking on a Queens sidewalk and narrowly escaped injury. Advertisement To bolster public safety, the Legislature must pass 'Priscilla's Law,' named after a pedestrian killed by an e-bike in Manhattan in 2023. It would require all e-bikes and e-scooters to be registered and display license plates for legal accountability. (I would add an insurance requirement.) That's responsible law enforcement, not racist targeting, as claimed by City Council member Lincoln Restler. Those who violate traffic laws must be prosecuted, regardless of their immigration status. Richard Reif Queens Thank you, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch. Advertisement Someone finally has seen bikes as a tremendous problem. I remember the blind gentleman I once helped cross First Avenue. He told me he is not afraid of cars, but that he fears the bikes. J.J. Levine Advertisement Miami Beach, Fla It is miraculous that the 3-year-old girl survived the recent bike incident in Brooklyn. Eight months ago, I was hit by an electric CitiBike going the wrong way at West 60 Street and Broadway. I had the green light — yet the cyclist, a 14-year-old male, was let go without a summons. Advertisement The safety of pedestrians should supersede the rights of motor vehicles, all types of bicycles and motorized scooters. Karen O'Brien Manhattan Advertisement The Issue: Zohran Mamdani's campaign to become the next mayor of New York City. Ken Girardin listed many valid reasons why Zohran Mamdani should not be the next mayor of New York (' 'Free' Fallacy,' May 2). Unfortunately, those reasons are some people's arguments for why he should be the next mayor. It is sad that New York City is just not 'bad enough yet' for the voters to realize they can't keep voting for any person who has a D after their name. Warren Stuart New City The city of my birth is on the path of no return with socialist Mamdani in the race for mayor. If it weren't for my grandkids, I would transplant to the free red state of South Carolina. No one can save this city; the self-hating Jews will vote for an antisemite simply because of the D after his name. Mike Santavicca Yonkers Want to weigh in on today's stories?
