India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau evaluates options for the black boxes from the recent Air India disaster.
The black boxes, crucial for understanding the events leading up to the crash, were recovered from the wreckage but may have sustained damage. Concerns have been raised regarding the ability to extract usable data in India, prompting speculation about sending them to the US for further examination. A former investigator noted the potential benefit of cross-validating the data with the US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).
