US Transportation Safety Board joins plane crash investigation
The US National Transportation Safety Board announced Thursday night that it would join the investigation into the crash of a passenger plane in Iran.
An hour earlier, an official from the Iranian Civil Aviation Organization announced that the American agency, along with other countries such as Canada and Ukraine, had been invited to review the evidence.
This federal agency in the United States works in the field of investigating accidents in the transportation sector and has now officially announced that it has appointed a representative to participate in the case of the Ukrainian plane crash in Tehran.
A Boeing 737-800 aircraft that had left Tehran's Imam Khomeini Airport on Wednesday morning, January 8, bound for Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, caught fire minutes after takeoff and crashed in Sabashahr, a suburb of Shahriar County.
The plane was carrying 167 passengers and 9 crew members, all of whom died in the accident.
