A top priority for air crash investigators is to locate and analyse a plane’s two black boxes which hold vital clues to what caused it to go down, including cockpit conversations.
On Sunday, an Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 8 crashed, killing all 157 people on board.
The airline said Thursday that the black box flight recorders from the crashed plane had been flown to Paris for analysis by the BEA, France’s aviation investigation and analysis agency.
It is uncertain how much of their content can be retrieved as both the aircraft’s black boxes, found Monday, were damaged in the crash.
