We discuss the latest with CBS News Travel Editor Peter Greenberg on what may have gone wrong, how the investigation will unfold, and the broader issues at play in the skies after the deadliest airline incident in two decades. 

From the challenges of navigating crowded U.S. airspaces to concerns about FAA oversight, air traffic controller shortages, and what these factors mean for the future of air travel—Peter breaks it all down. Tune in for a crucial conversation on aviation safety and what comes next.
