Investigations into the tragic crash of Jeju Air flight 7C 2216 in South Korea last month have revealed that the flight recorders from the Boeing 737-800 stopped working minutes before the plane belly-landed and exploded on the runway, resulting in the loss of 179 lives. The incident, which occurred at Muan International Airport on December 29, is considered the country's deadliest aviation accident in almost three decades.
The cockpit voice recorder (CVR) and flight data recorder (FDR) ceased functioning approximately four minutes before the crash, leaving investigators puzzled as to why the devices failed to record crucial data leading up to the tragic event. The South Korean transport ministry has expressed its commitment to determining the cause of the accident through a thorough analysis of all available information.
