DOUALA, Cameroon (AP) - U.S. aviation experts conferred with their Kenyan and Cameroonian counterparts Wednesday in an international effort to determine what caused a Kenya Airways jet to crash into a central African swamp and kill all 114 aboard.
The Americans, from the National Transportation Safety Board, were meeting with the African experts in preparation for their contribution to the investigation, said Lonnie Kelley, the U.S. Embassy spokesman in Cameroon. Experts from Boeing, which made the 737-800 that crashed Saturday, also were expected.
Evanson Mwaniki, Kenya Airways chairman, said the company was also bringing in British forensic and DNA specialists and equipment to help identify bodies. Bodies were being found in pieces and badly decomposed after more than 40 hours in the water, making the "identification process more complicated and time consuming," Mwaniki said.
