Explained in plain English
Why are US agencies involved?
Even though the Ryanair flight was between Greece and Germany, US agencies like the NTSB and FAA are involved because the aircraft was a Boeing. Boeing is an American company, so US regulators have jurisdiction over its aircraft design and manufacturing standards, regardless of where the plane is flying.
