The NTSB suspended public access to its accident investigation database after internet users reconstructed cockpit audio from a fatal UPS cargo plane crash using AI tools and spectrograms the agency had publicly released. Federal law prohibits the NTSB from sharing cockpit voice recordings to protect pilot privacy, but reconstructed audio from the May 2025 UPS Flight 2976 crash has circulated on social media.
