What’s new: One cockpit recorder of the crashed China Eastern Airlines jetliner was found and sent for analysis as rescue workers continue scouring the wreckage of flight MU5735 scattered across a southern China mountainside.
The recorder, one of the two so-called black boxes on board, was initially determined to be a cockpit voice recorder. The device’s exterior was “severely damaged,” according to an air safety official at a Wednesday briefing. The second box, the flight-data recorder, has yet to be found, the official said.
