The Accident Investigation Committee has successfully retrieved the two flight recorders from the crashed passenger plane that tragically claimed the lives of over 120 people, South Korea’s KBS reported on Sunday. The recovery was confirmed by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.
The flight recorders, commonly known as black boxes, are crucial for investigators to determine the cause of the crash. The data they contain will provide detailed information about the aircraft’s systems and the pilots’ actions during the flight.
“We are committed to conducting a thorough investigation to uncover the factors that led to this unfortunate incident,” a spokesperson from the Accident Investigation Committee stated. “The retrieval of the flight recorders is a significant step forward.”
The passenger plane crashed earlier this week under circumstances that are still unclear. The tragedy has prompted national mourning and raised concerns about aviation safety standards.
Families of the victims are awaiting answers as authorities proceed with the investigation. The government has promised transparency and support for those affected.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport has not yet provided a timeline for when preliminary findings from the black boxes might be released.
