LEXINGTON, Ky. — U.S. Army investigators have recovered the flight data records onboard the two Black Hawk helicopters that collided in Trigg County on March 29, killing all nine soldiers on board the two aircraft.
The flight data recorders are commonly referred to as “black boxes.” The recorders were sent back to Fort Rucker, Alabama, for analysis in the investigation, the Army said. The data recorders could provide more information about what went wrong aboard the aircraft leading up to the crash.
“We cannot provide a timeline as to when the investigation will be completed,” said Lt. Col. Tony Hoefler with the 101st Airborne Division in a statement released Tuesday evening. “The duration of the investigation is determined by the thorough analysis of all factors.”
