Today on Facts Matter, we break down two major stories making headlines. First, we analyze the conflicting data from the black boxes of the recent DC plane crash—what the discrepancies could mean and the questions still unanswered. Then, we shift to the rising concerns over a contagious bird flu, leading to mass poultry culling and a spike in egg prices. How is this affecting supply chains and consumers? Tune in for the facts and our analysis.

0:00.0 | The salvage operation that's been ongoing in the Potomac River has yielded something, |
0:05.5 | you could say, interesting. The black box belonging to the American Airlines jet. However, |
0:11.3 | instead of just settling what took place, the black box, if anything else, actually created |
0:17.6 | more of a mystery in regards to what led up to the crash. |
