Dhaka, Mar 17 (Just News): A joint-team of experts will decide the place where the black box of the crashed US-Bangla aircraft will be decoded, the chief of Nepalese investigation team said today.
A team of investigators from Bangladesh will join the Canadian and Nepalese officials in a day or two in Nepal to determine the place for decoding the black box, Yagya Prasad Gautam, chief of the committee formed by the Nepalese government to probe the Monday’s crash, said.
The Canadian and Nepalese investigators have already started collecting information by talking to all stakeholders and analysing video footage linked to the plane crash, he said.
Canadian aviation experts joined the Nepal investigation team yesterday.
On March 13, a six-member inquiry team of Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN), headed by Gautam, started the investigation into the plane crash.
Earlier, both a Bangladeshi and Nepalese authorities separately said that the black box will be sent to Bombardier in Canada, the manufacturer of Dash 8, to decode it.
Yesterday, Nepal’s Tribhuvan International Airport General Manager Raj Kumar Chhetri said that the black box of the aircraft has been handed over to the Nepalese investigation team and it will be sent to Bombardier, the plane manufacturer.
It can also be given to Bangladesh, he added.
On Tuesday, Chairman of the Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh Air Vice Marshal M Naim Hassan said that the black box of the aircraft will be sent to Bombardier in Canada, the manufacturer of Dash 8, to decode it. “After decoding the black box, we can say whether there was a technical glitch or human error behind the crash.”
