Recovered black box of crashed Chinese plane can be cockpit voice recorder
The black box recovered from the China Eastern Airlines passenger plane that crashed into a mountain in Guangxi region earlier this week, is believed to be the cockpit voice recorder, according to an aviation official.
The exterior of the black box has been severely damaged, but its data storage unit is relatively complete despite some damage, Xinhua news agency quoted Zhu Tao, head of the aviation safety office of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, as saying to reporters late Wednesday night.
The black box is being sent to Beijing for decoding, he added.
The plane carrying 132 people crashed on Monday in Tengxian County in the city of Wuzhou.
