The Dutch Safety Board has taken over formal responsibility for the investigation into the crash of the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 in eastern Ukraine, according to the organization's press release.
“The two black boxes have since arrived in the United Kingdom, where
they are currently being read out and analyzed by a team of
international specialists. The on-site investigation in Ukraine is
currently in full swing. Although investigators still do not have safe
access to the crash site, work to gather and analyze data from various
sources is underway in both Kyiv and the Netherlands,” the Dutch Safety
Board said.
The Dutch Safety Board said it would be responsible for coordinating
all participating investigators and investigation teams from the
countries involved (Ukraine, Malaysia, Australia, Germany, the United
States, the United Kingdom and Russia) and the International Civil
Aviation Organization (ICAO).
The international team currently consists of 24 investigators. A
total of four Dutch Safety Board investigators are currently operating
in Ukraine, according to the organization.
