The National Transportation Safety Board is set to release findings later today on a March 2007 bus crash in Atlanta that killed five baseball players from Ohio's Bluffton University. Investigators say the bus driver mistakenly drove onto an exit ramp that dead-ends on a bridge over Interstate 75, sending the bus plunging off the overpass. The NTSB has said it is looking more specifically at how the passengers died, as well as the operator's safety record. The crash, which also killed the bus driver and his wife, is at the center of a decades-long debate over whether or not seat belts and other safety features should be required on motor coaches. Parents of the victims have joined advocacy groups in pressing for new regulations.
