(AP Photo/Christophe Ena)French authorities have been tasked with investigating the so-called black boxes recovered from Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 to help determine what led to the fatal Boeing 737 Max 8 crash that killed 157 people. Investigators there will attempt to download and analyze data from the aircraft's flight data recorders and cockpit voice recorders. The U.S. National Transportation Safety said Thursday that it was sending three investigators to Paris to assist French and Ethiopian authorities in the crash probe. The NTSB investigators have technical expertise in recorders, flight crew operations and human factors, the agency said.
