UPDATED Flight PS752 cockpit data successfully downloaded, says TSB chair
Flight recorders were sent to Paris for data extraction, a process that began Monday and is being observed by a number of countries, including Canada.
“That being said, our role in this investigation is quite limited, to one of being able to visit the accident site, which we did, as well as receive information that they’ve approved for release,” said Fox. It said the International Coordination and Response Group for the victims of Flight PS752 will “continue working to ensure transparency, accountability and justice, including reparations, for the families of the victims of this terrible tragedy.”Fox says the waiting “must be excruciating” for loved ones of the victims and that the TSB is doing all it can to ensure they get the answers they deserve.
Foreign Affairs Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne and Global Affairs Canada responded to the report by saying Canada would hold Iran to account, demanding it immediately conduct “a comprehensive and transparent investigation” following international standards. Fox says three key questions remain outstanding: why were missiles launched against a civil aircraft, why wasn’t the airspace closed in a time of conflict, and why commercial airlines such as Ukraine International Airlines continued to operate there.
