Damaged black box from crashed South Korean plane will be sent to US for analysis as investigation ramps up
South Korean investigators will send one of the retrieved black boxes from the Jeju Air crash to the United States for analysis. The crash, which occurred on Sunday, killed 179 people and injured two flight attendants. The damaged flight data recorder was deemed unrecoverable domestically, prompting the decision to transport it to the US for analysis in collaboration with the US National Transportation Safety Board. The investigation is focusing on a possible mechanical failure and the role of a concrete barrier at the end of the runway. The probe is ongoing, with US investigators assisting local authorities and examining the aircraft’s structure and black box data to determine the cause of the accident.
