Canadian air-crash investigators are being given access to the wreckage and been tapped to help unlock the contents of the data recorders from a Ukraine International Airlines plane downed by an Iranian missile last week.
The two investigators are to get their first chance to visit the crash site outside of Tehran on Tuesday, as part of an international team looking into the sequence of events that ended with Flight 752 shot out of the sky, killing all 176 people on board.
Kathy Fox, the head of the Transportation Safety Board, said she expects Canadian investigators will have access to the remains of the plane that are being reconstructed elsewhere, with Iran leading the investigation under international rules.
She added that TSB investigators have been asked about their technical expertise in downloading data from the flight recorders, known as "black boxes," which were damaged in the incident.
The access to the wreckage and possibly the data recorders is more than the minimum Canadians are allowed under international rules that guide such investigations, with Fox calling Iran's level of co-operation encouraging.
Still, Fox said she would be pushing those boundaries to ensure answers for families of the 57 Canadians on board.
And she cautioned that the TSB will speak out if it believes the probe isn't complete and transparent.
"We all want answers and sharing information is a cornerstone of trust. The world deserves to know how and why events unfolded as they did," Fox said.
After initially denying it shot down the Ukraine airliner, Iran admitted over the weekend that one of its own surface-to-air missiles took down the Boeing 737-800, but called it a horrible mistake.
The Canadian Press has independently confirmed at least 86 victims with ties to Canada, many of them students and professors returning after spending the December break visiting relatives in Iran.
Iran has taken the lead on the investigation under international civil aviation rules, with Canadians, Americans and Ukrainians playing supporting roles to varying degrees.
