New: NTSB has been helping download BOTH black boxes from #chinaeastern crash. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Worth adding important context: NTSB has studiously avoided commenting on its work in this accident, as it has done on every foreign assist I’ve ever covered. #CAAC is running this show.
Another point: This accident has gotten a lot of attention because of the rarity of crashes and perhaps because of int’l tensions. BUT this is being conducted very normally.
Last I heard, @NTSB helps out on dozens, maybe more than 100, black box downloads a year and it barely gets noticed. That China would bring them here is very much business as usual.
