South Korean officials have revealed that the black boxes of a Boeing 737-800 that crashed in Muan, South Korea last month ceased recording data approximately four minutes before the tragic accident. The crash resulted in the loss of 179 lives, with only two survivors out of the 181 individuals on board.

According to the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board's analysis, both the flight data recorder (FDR) and cockpit voice recorder (CVR) stopped functioning four minutes prior to the crash. This development has raised concerns about the complexity of the ongoing investigations into the cause of the disaster.
