Jeju Air 'black box' data missing from last 4 minutes before crash, South Korea ministry says
Black smoke emits from Jeju Air flight 7C2216 as it veers off the runway following a crash after landing at Muan International Airport in Muan, South Korea December 29, 2024 in this screengrab obtained from video.
The flight data and cockpit voice recorders on the Jeju Air jet that crashed on Dec. 29 stopped recording about four minutes before the airliner hit a concrete structure at South Korea's Muan airport, the transport ministry said on Saturday.
Authorities investigating the disaster that killed 179 people, the worst on South Korean soil, plan to analyse what caused the "black boxes" to stop recording, the ministry said in a statement.
