Black boxes of the crashed Jeju Air jet quit recording shortly before the plane crashed. However, these latest questions result from the findings of investigators, who continue to delve into the tragic accident’s causes. South Korean and U.S. experts are working closely to look through the flight data and cockpit voice recorders that may indicate what happened from the time the aircraft crashed.
The jet was headed to Jeju Island with a large number of passengers when it lost contact with air traffic control. Authorities have said that the black boxes, which normally are essential for determining the cause of crashes, stopped recording at a critical point in the flight, making it difficult to start the investigation.
While the investigation is still ongoing, the findings have led to a closer look at the technical systems of the plane and its maintenance history. South Korean officials are now focusing on the possible malfunction or error that led to the failure of the black boxes and other factors that may have caused the crash.
The South Korean and U.S. teams are collecting more evidence and data in hopes of shedding light on the circumstances that led to the crash. The aviation community, as well as the families of the victims, are waiting for answers as the authorities try to uncover the truth behind the tragic incident.
