The NTSB confirmed Thursday that it will assist in the analysis of the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder on the doomed March 10 flight from Addis Ababa. The U.S. agency will join a team of experts from Ethiopia's Ministry of Transport, France's Air Accident Investigation Agency (BEA) and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). Both flights used a Boeing 737 Max 8 jet. Boeing has been working on a software update that is expected to correct issues with the 737 Max aircraft safety systems. The FBI confirmed it has joined a federal investigation that will look into the certification process for Boeing's 737 Max jets.
