Investigators
in France will begin analysing the crashed Ethiopian Airlines aircraft’s black
boxes on Friday (today), seeking clues into a disaster that has angered scores
of mourning families and grounded Boeing’s global 737 MAX fleet.
The
black boxes arrived in Paris, France, on Thursday after a tussle over where the
investigation should be held.
The
flight data and cockpit voice recorders were handed over to France’s Bureau of
Enquiry and Analysis for Civil Aviation Safety agency.
Sunday’s
crash after take-off from Addis Ababa killed 157 people from 35 nations in the
second of such calamity involving Boeing’s new model of B737 Max in six months.
Possible
links between the accidents have rocked the aviation industry, scared
passengers worldwide, and left the world’s biggest planemaker scrambling to
prove the safety of the model.
Boeing, however said in a statement that it had confidence in the safety of the 737 MAX aircraft.
