It was a US-built plane. The country of origin of an aircraft has the responsibility to determine the cause of a US-built aircraft's loss. We are also principal members of NATO and ASEAN whose member nations lost citizens. We are also the best and most requested experts on aircraft crash forensics.

Lastly, we are the leaders of the Free World. We cannot depend on the humanity of the Russians or the Russian-backed thugs in Ukraine to secure the site or preserve evidence or to recover remains. We lead or no one does.

Has it been so long since we had an actual government that you don't remember?

Nope — Did you miss the MH370 incident???

International law gives the responsibility for a “crash” investigation to:

1] First — the nation whose plane it is — in both cases it was Malaysia and thus Malaysia took the lead in both cases.

Note that the orange boxes were handed to the Malaysians and they handed them to the Brits who they chose to investigat them.

2] Second — the nation upon whose ground the plane plopped — in this case it is Ukraine who signed an agreement to defer those rights of investigation to the Netherlands and they now are involving the Aussies.

Boeing’s involvement is an assist to the official investigation — not to take the lead.
