WASHINGTON, June 26 (Reuters) - The head of the U.S.

National Transportation Safety Board said Thursday she hopes the

Indian government will be able to share details from the

investigation into the Air India crash this month that killed

260 people in short order.

India's civil aviation ministry said on Thursday that

investigators have downloaded flight recorder data from the

crash with assistance from the NTSB. "For aviation safety and

for public safety and public awareness we hope that they will

make their findings public swiftly," U.S. Transportation Safety

Board chair Jennifer Homendy told Reuters.
