Investigators have finished extracting data from one of the black boxes from the fated Jeju Air plane that crashed on Sunday, South Korea’s transport ministry has said.
The data from the cockpit voice recorder will now be converted into an audio file, while a second black box – a flight data recorder – will be sent to the United States for analysis.
Investigators hope data on the flight and voice recorders will provide insights about the crucial moments leading up to the tragedy.
Some 179 people died after the plane crashed into a structure and exploded, making it the deadliest plane crash on South Korean soil.
Investigators say it is not feasible to locally decode the flight data recorder, which was damaged in the crash and is missing a crucial connector.
