It had impacted at the 4,000-metre (13,000 ft) level. The New Zealand helicopter rescue team which spotted the wreckage reported that the accident was not survivable.[4] Canada has jurisdiction in investigating the crash.[7] Recovery efforts were ended on 27 January, after having recovered the cockpit voice recorder (CVR), due to unsafe conditions.[8]
