He said that the main focus of their investigation was to analyze the weather.

Webster said, “So at this point, all we have to go is we know that it was deteriorating to some point.” He said that they would analyze the weather conditions along the route of the aircraft. The investigating team will also analyze the conditions when the aircraft reached the point of crash. Webster said that it was what they needed to do at that point.

The crashed aircraft was an American plane and nobody survived in the crash, according to the CTV. The dead bodies have not been identified as the officials have not released any details about them.
