Jeju Air black boxes ceased recording before plane crash, South Korea says

Transport ministry is investigating the cause of the data loss following the worst-ever aviation disaster in the country’s history.

The black boxes holding flight data and cockpit voice recorders of Jeju Air’s Boeing 737-800 jet stopped recording about four minutes before the plane disaster in South Korea in December, the country’s transport ministry has said.

Jeju Air’s Flight 7C2216 was flying from Thailand to Muan International Airport in South Korea on December 29, when it belly-landed, slammed into a concrete barrier and exploded, killing 179 of the 181 passengers and crew.
