South Korea says initial data extracted from Jeju Air cockpit recorder

Al Jazeera  

Officials say all 179 victims from deadliest crash on South Korean soil have been identified. Investigators probing the deadly crash of Jeju Air Flight 2216 in South Korea have retrieved the initial data from one of the aircraft’s black boxes, officials have said. The crash was the worst-ever air disaster on South Korean soil and the deadliest accident involving a South Korean airline since a Korean Air Boeing 747 crashed into a Guam hillside in 1997, killing 228 people. South Korean authorities, aided by investigators from Boeing and the US National Transportation Safety Board, have focused their initial inquiries on the embankment, which some aviation experts have said should have been placed further from the runway or constructed from softer materials. South Korean officials on Wednesday also announced that they had confirmed the identities of all 179 victims amid complaints from grieving families about the timeframe for identifying and releasing the bodies.
