The Accident Investigation Committee has successfully retrieved the two flight recorders from the passenger plane that crashed earlier this week in South Korea, claiming the lives of over 120 people. This was reported by KBS on Sunday, citing the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.
The recovery of the flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder, commonly known as “black boxes,” is a crucial step in uncovering the cause of the tragic accident. Investigators hope that the data collected will shed light on what led to the catastrophic event and help prevent similar incidents in the future.
The crash has left the nation in mourning as families and friends grapple with the sudden loss of loved ones. Authorities have yet to release the identities of the victims, pending notification of their families.
“Our top priority is to conduct a thorough investigation to determine the exact cause of the crash,” said a spokesperson from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. The ministry has pledged full transparency throughout the investigation process.
The airline involved has expressed deep condolences to those affected and is cooperating fully with the authorities. More updates are expected as the investigation progresses.
