At the hearing, Ellen Block, the lead NTSB investigator, reveals that the cause of the plane's malfunction was a broken jackscrew in the elevator assembly. She commends Whip on his valor, pointing out no other pilots were able to land the flight safely under the same circumstances in simulations. She knows about his toxicology results but just as it appears Whip will escape culpability, Block raises the fact that there were two empty alcohol containers found in the trash on the plane; Whip knows these were his. Block points out that only the flight crew had access to the alcohol, and since only Katerina's toxicology screen showed alcohol, Block asks Whitaker whether he thinks Katerina may have been drinking on the job. Whip refuses to taint Katerina's good name and admits that not only was he flying drunk but also that he is drunk at the hearing.    watch more
