 ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) - A four-member team from the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board joined Nigerian investigators Wednesday in trying to unravel why a Boeing 737 passenger jet crashed on takeoff, killing 96 people, government officials said.
The American investigators arrived in Nigeria late Tuesday along with representatives of the aircraft maker Boeing and engine manufacturer Pratt & Whitney, said Remi Ibitola, spokesman for Aviation Minister Babalola Borishade.
An Associated Press photographer saw the team inspect the crash site with Nigerian investigators Wednesday, taking physical and photographic evidence to help with the probe.
