Investigation Underway
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) are leading the investigation. The aircraft’s cockpit voice recorder and flight-data recorder—commonly known as black boxes—have been recovered and transported to a laboratory in Washington, D.C., for analysis.
NTSB officials confirmed that no hazardous materials were listed in the cargo manifest, though the fuel load contributed to extensive secondary fires that complicated initial rescue efforts. Investigators will now focus on mechanical performance, maintenance records, and flight-crew communications leading up to the crash.
According to Flightradar24, the final recorded data from the aircraft showed a ground speed of approximately 184 knots (211 mph) at low altitude. While this information provides context, investigators stress that determining cause will require weeks of technical review.
