The second black box was found from the ill-fated plane belonging to the “East China” company, which crashed, carrying 132 passengers, according to what the New China News Agency announced on Sunday.
The agency quoted the relief operations command center as saying that on March 27, the second black box of flight MU5735 of the “Eastern China Company” was found. This logger contains flight data such as speed and altitude. The death of all 132 people on board the plane that crashed Monday on a mountainous plateau in southern China’s Wuzhou, China’s Civil Aviation Authority said on Saturday.
Dozens of families have been waiting for days for news of the fate of those who boarded the plane, while rescue teams were scanning the forested slopes extensively in search of wreckage and possible survivors of the plane crash near the city of Wazhou. On Wednesday, one of the two black boxes from the doomed plane was found, and it will take several days to analyze it.
The crash of this plane is the worst accident in the aviation sector since 1994 in China, where experts generally consider the safety of the air to be very good.
Chinese President Xi Jinping had called for “the causes of the accident to be determined as soon as possible,” and dispatched a government team headed by Vice Premier Liu He to the scene. The causes of the disaster are not yet known. All of the people on board were Chinese.
After finding the plane’s two black boxes, investigators must obtain within a few days or weeks the first items that will help uncover the causes of the accident. Hundreds of firefighters, rescuers, doctors, investigators, volunteers and political officials still flock to the site of the tragedy to continue the investigation.
