NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD NEWS RELEASE An independent federal agency NTSB POSITIONING TEAM TO OFFER ASSISTANCE IN INVESTIGATION OF MALAYSIA AIRLINES 777 EVENT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- March 8, 2014 The National Transportation Safety Board has a team of investigators en route to Asia to be ready to assist with the investigation of the March 8 Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 event. The Boeing 777 went missing on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. Once the location of the airplane is determined, International Civil Aviation Organization protocols will determine which country will lead the investigation. Because of the lengthy travel time from the United States, the NTSB has sent a team of investigators, accompanied by technical advisers from Boeing and the Federal Aviation Administration, to the area so they will be positioned to offer U.S. assistance. The team departed from the U.S. tonight. The country that leads the investigation will release all information about it.
