Kiruna (TT) The so-called black boxes from the crashed Hercules plane in Kebnekaise be flown to Britain for analysis when they are found. - We will send them by courier as soon as possible, says Agne Widholm at the (Swedish) Investigation Board. The boxes contain information on the Hercules plane's last flight, stored on hard drives. The Norwegian plane with five officers crashed on a mountainside on March 16 during an international military exercise in which Sweden participated.
About a hundred people are now working with the search for wreckage and remains of those killed. Agne Widholm is convinced that the so-called black boxes will be found. - It is not (a question of) if, but when we find them. There may be crevices that they have fallen into, but we do not really believe that, he says.
If the hard drives are found, the causes of the crash are likely to clarify. Agne Widholm has as yet no theory about what went wrong. - No, it's too early yet, we have some hypotheses that we gather more facts about, but we are still at that stage, he says.
The analysis of the hard drives are planned to take place at the British equivalent of the (Swedish) Investigation, Air accident Investigation Branch (AAIB).
- We will send them by courier as soon as possible, says Agne Widholm at the Swedish Investigation Board.
