Ethiopia refuses to send black box from crashed Boeing 737 Max 8 to United States for analysis

PUBLISHED MARCH 13, 2019 UPDATED 13 MINUTES AGO - GEOFFREY YORK AFRICA BUREAU CHIEF JOHANNESBURG

QUOTE:

"Ethiopian Airlines has decided to send the black box from its crashed airplane to Europe for analysis, rather than to the United States where the Boeing 737 Max 8 was manufactured.

The decision, in defiance of U.S. requests, is the latest sign of the world’s growing distrust of the United States on aviation safety issues. While U.S. regulators and Boeing have continued to insist that the Max 8 is safe, most other countries have ordered the grounding of the aircraft, leaving the United States increasingly isolated on the safety issue."


Much appreciated if other members can post the link.
