WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The head of National Transportation Safety Board said Wednesday investigators still do not know who worked on a Boeing 737 MAX 9 door plug involved in a Jan. 5 Alaska Airlines mid-air emergency and that video footage was overwritten.

NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy said in a letter to lawmakers investigators sought security camera footage from the work performed in September but were informed the material was overwritten. "The absence of those records will complicate the NTSBโ€™s investigation moving forward," Homendy said. The NTSB said previously said four key bolts were missing from the door plug that blew out on the plane.
