Canada, Iran at odds over who should analyze downed plane's black boxes

Iran said it had asked the U.S. and French authorities for equipment to download information from black boxes on a downed Ukrainian airliner, potentially angering countries which want the recorders analyzed abroad.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada, which lost 57 of the 176 people killed in the crash, said Iran did not have the ability to read the data and he demanded the cockpit and flight recorders should be sent to France. Kiev wants the recorders sent to Ukraine.

The U.S.-built Boeing 737 flown by Ukraine International Airlines was shot down in error by Iranian forces on Jan. 8 during a period of tit-for-tat military strikes that included the killing by the United States of a senior Iranian general on Jan. 3.

Tehran, already embroiled in a long-running standoff with the United States over its nuclear program, has given mixed signals about whether it would hand over the recorders.

An Iranian aviation official had said on Saturday the black boxes would be sent to Ukraine, only to backtrack in comments reported a day later, saying they would be analyzed at home.

A further delay in sending them abroad is likely to increase international pressure on Iran, whose military has said it shot the plane down by mistake while on high alert in the tense hours after Iran fired missiles at U.S. targets in Iraq.

“If the appropriate supplies and equipment are provided, the information can be taken out and reconstructed in a short period of time,” Iran’s Civil Aviation Organization said in its second preliminary report on the disaster released late on Monday.

A list of equipment Iran needs has been sent to French accident agency BEA and the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board, the Iranian aviation body said.

“Until now, these countries have not given a positive response to sending the equipment to (Iran),” it said. It said two surface-to-air TOR-M1 missiles had been launched minutes after the Ukrainian plane took off from Tehran.

GE granted license to help investigate Ukrainian plane downed by Iran

General Electric Co has received a license from the U.S. Treasury Department to help in the investigation of a Ukrainian passenger plane accidentally shot down by Iranian forces, a GE spokesman told Reuters on Tuesday.

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said earlier this month that the department would grant sanction waivers to allow Americans or anyone else to participate in the investigation of the Jan. 8 crash of the Ukraine International Airlines Boeing 737 near Tehran that killed all 176 people onboard.

GE co-owns with France’s Safran SA the French-U.S. firm CFM that made the plane’s engines.

Huh...no wonder US is called World power...agbanwuo dike izu agbagharia ya.

Say No to war

Lolzzzz... Jus imagine ppl who wanted to go to war with d US now asking d US for equipment to analyze a plane it shot down

why not seek our help? bring it to computer village

Ikeja , under bridge.

Iran keeps disappointing me, I've been waiting for them to show USA what they are made of and bring down her puffed shoulders.

What type of fvckery is this?

Well, unless this is a tactic to make USA falsely believe that Iran is at their mercy.
Because even the dumbest of the dumbs know that Iran can decipher even the most encrypted blackest of all black boxes.

Even if they can't which is almost impossible to fathom; there's Russia nearby to help, China too.
So it makes no sense.

Trump's only saving grace is that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is no more the President of Iran.
He would have long known the difference between Akamu oka and Akamu Dawa.

Subuhanallahi! So US is no more their enemy again or nah Grèek gift they want give them? So all the effizzy that they wont give or involve Boeing in analysing the content of the black box of an airliner you shot down was just a charade? Ayatollah Kameni should be careful.Person wey pass you pass you.

It took Iran several days to acknowledge its role in bringing down the plane.

Good to know they have made up their mind to submit the black box at last, because Canada, which had 57 citizens and residents killed in the crash, has demanded that Iran hand over the flight recorders and black box to France for analysis earlier, but good to see they are going with USA.

Although, Iran has for years faced U.S. sanctions that limited its ability to purchase modern planes and buy products with U.S. technology.
Many passenger planes used in Iran are decades old.
Good to know they went back to seek America's help with this issue...without looking at the past or much recent times.
Oga na master, anyday, anytime!
We are waiting to know what really happen with the plane.
Many lives lost.....SAD!

All we want is peace in the world we live in.
SAY NO TO TERRORISM
SAY NO TO WAR!
