Jeju Air plane crash: Black boxes stopped working 4 minutes before accident, says South Korea

Live Mint  

The South Korean Transportation Ministry said on Saturday the black boxes pulled out from the wreckage of the Jeju Air plane that crashed last month, stopped recording about four minutes before the fatal accident that killed 179 people. After initial analysis of the devices, the US National Transportation Safety Board concluded that both the flight data and cockpit voice recorders stopped working about four minutes before the crash, the ministry said in a statement. The Jeju Air plane -- Boeing 737-800 -- heading from Bangkok to Muan International Airport in South Korea was attempting an emergency landing on December 29 when it skidded on the runway and exploded after hitting a concrete wall, killing 179 out of 181 people on board. South Korean government have pledged to improve airport safety after experts linked the high death toll to Muan airport's localiser system, the structure hit by the aircraft as it crashed.
