More than 24 hours after a China Eastern Airlines Boeing flight crashed with 132 people on board, authorities said they aren't much closer to understanding why.
Since the crash involved a U.S.-made plane, the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board said it has appointed a senior air safety investigator to the China-led investigation.
The board added that representatives from the Federal Aviation Administration, Boeing and CFM will serve as technical advisors. CFM is a joint venture between U.S.-basedand France-based Safran that manufactured the engines on the crashed plane, according to the safety board. The nine crew members and the aircraft met flight requirements before take-off, Sun Shiying, chairman of China Eastern's company in Yunnan province — where the flight departed from — said during Tuesday's press conference.
China Eastern Airlines shares rose slightly in Hong Kong trading on Wednesday morning. Boeing shares gained about 2.8% overnight.
