Black Boxes Stopped Recording Before Jeju Air Crash That Killed 179 at Muan Airport
Jan 11, 2025, 07:52 AM
Key data is missing from the black boxes of the Jeju Air Boeing 737-800 that crashed on December 29 at Muan International Airport in South Korea, killing 179 of the 181 passengers. South Korea's Ministry of Transport announced that both the flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder stopped recording at 8:59 pm, approximately four minutes before the plane collided with a concrete structure during an emergency landing attempt. The missing data could make it difficult to determine the cause of the crash. The black boxes have been sent to the United States for further analysis.
