The South Korean Ministry of Transport announced today, Saturday, that the black boxes of the Jeju Air flight that crashed on December 29, 2024, stopped recording about four minutes before the aircraft collided with a concrete structure at Moan Airport in South Korea.
The black boxes, which include the flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder, contain crucial information about the incident that claimed 179 lives.
The Ministry of Transport stated that the cockpit voice recorder was initially analyzed in South Korea, and when it was found that data was missing, it was sent to the US National Transportation Safety Board for further analysis.
Flight 7C2216 was coming from Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, to Moan Airport in southwestern South Korea. During its landing attempt, it veered off the runway and burst into flames after colliding with the concrete wall.
The plane's captain, operating a Boeing 737-800, had reported to the control tower that the aircraft had hit a bird, leading to an emergency being declared about four minutes before the incident. Two crew members were rescued from the tail, the only part that remained intact after the crash and explosion.
