Investigation into South Korea plane crash underway with damaged black box to be analyzed in US
ai generated text
Investigators have retrieved two "black boxes" from the wreckage, including a damaged flight data recorder that will be sent to the United States for analysis. The voice recorder, along with the second black box, is expected to provide crucial clues to the cause of the crash. All 179 victims of the deadliest crash on South Korean soil have been identified.
For 28 victims, whose identities have been confirmed and autopsies completed, we will allow funeral procedures to begin from 2 pm (0500 GMT) today with the consent of their families.
Experts are currently conducting a final review to determine how to extract data from it.
However, the flight data recorder's data storage unit is still under evaluation.
The damaged flight data recorder has been deemed unrecoverable for data extraction domestically.
It was agreed today to transport it to the United States for analysis in collaboration with the US National Transportation Safety Board.
If the medical examiner determines that remains can be released, we are consulting with the NFS to hand them over with written consent from the families.
As there's great public concern about the same aircraft model involved in the accident, the transport ministry and relevant organisations must conduct a thorough inspection of operation maintenance, education, and training.
Apart from five bodies, it will be difficult to return remains to the families in a recognizable condition. For the rest, funeral procedures cannot proceed until DNA identification is complete.
