A team of National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigators left the U.S. for Asia on Saturday night, in order to assist with the investigation into the disappearance of the March 8 Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which 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,” according to a statement by the NTSB, which said it wants its personnel in position in Asia in order to offer U.S. assistance.
