Korean plane accident
This incident comes after the crash of a passenger plane that occurred about a month ago, which killed 179 passengers, and saved two, according to Korean firefighters.
South Korea’s investigation authorities said last Saturday that the black boxes of the passenger plane that crashed last month stopped recording 4 minutes before the explosion.
The South Korean authorities stated that an analysis conducted by the American National Council for Transport Safety of the flight data recorder and a cockpit recorder from the B800-737 showed that the recordings stopped on both devices about 4 minutes before the plane collided with a concrete barrier, according to the South Korean Yonhap News Agency.
