WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The US National Transportation Safety Board will answer only technical questions at this point about the Russian airliner crash in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, NTSB spokesperson Eric Weiss told RIA Novosti on Thursday.
"Right now our only activity is answering technical questions," Weiss said when asked whether the agency’s forensic experts would participate in the investigation of the Russian airliner.
Earlier in the week, US officials said that the NTSB was considering putting together a dispatch team to look at the physical evidence from the Metrojet Flight 9268 crash, but that the agency was still waiting on details regarding when and where the plane’s engines would be brought for examination.
