Jeju Air Crash: Black Boxes Silent Before Impact
2025-01-11
A Jeju Air Boeing 737-800 crashed in Korea, resulting in 179 fatalities. The investigation revealed that both the flight data recorder (FDR) and cockpit voice recorder (CVR) stopped recording four minutes before the plane crashed. This crucial data loss complicates the investigation, forcing investigators to rely on other evidence to determine the cause of the crash. Possible causes under investigation include bird strike, landing gear malfunction, and the runway barrier. The transport minister resigned, and authorities are investigating the airport and Jeju Air.
