Flight recorder data ends before crash
PLANE CRASHSOUTH KOREAINVESTIGATION

The black boxes of the plane that crashed in South Korea last month stopped recording about four minutes before the accident, South Korean officials said on Saturday, which could complicate investigations into the cause of the disaster that killed 179 people. The Boeing 737-800 operated by Jeju Air went off the runway in the South Korean city of Muan on December 29 after its landing gear failed to deploy, impacting a concrete structure and bursting into flames, killing all but two of the 181 people on board. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has concluded that both the flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder stopped functioning about four minutes before the crash.

(AP foto/Ahn Young-joon)SEÚL (AP) — Las cajas negras del avión que se estrelló en Corea del Sur el mes pasado dejaron de grabar aproximadamente cuatro minutos antes del accidente, dijeron el sábado funcionarios surcoreanos, lo que podría complicar las investigaciones sobre la causa del desastre que mató a 179 personas. Tras analizar los dispositivos, la Junta Nacional de Seguridad en el Transporte de Estados Unidos concluyó que tanto el registrador de datos de vuelo como el registrador de voz de la cabina dejaron de funcionar unos cuatro minutos antes del choque, indicó el Ministerio de Transporte de Corea del Sur. El Boeing 737-800 operado por Jeju Air se salió de una pista en la localidad surcoreana de Muan el 29 de diciembre después de que su tren de aterrizaje no se desplegara, impactando contra una estructura de concreto y estallando en llamas, matando a todos menos dos de los 181 ocupantes de la nave. Después de analizar inicialmente las cajas negras, los funcionarios surcoreanos enviaron los dispositivos a la NTSB para un examen más detallado tras descubrir que faltaban algunos datos. El ministerio de transporte dijo que no estaba inmediatamente claro por qué los dispositivos no grabaron datos en los últimos cuatro minutos.Ucrania afirma haber capturado a dos soldados norcoreanos que luchaban para Rusia“Los datos del CVR (registrador de voz de la cabina) y del FDR (registrador de datos de vuelo) son cruciales en la investigación de accidentes, pero tales investigaciones se realizan mediante el examen y análisis de diversas fuentes de información, y planeamos hacer todo lo posible para determinar la causa del accidente”, indicó el ministerio en un comunicado. Los investigadores surcoreanos han dicho que los controladores de tráfico aéreo advirtieron al piloto sobre posibles impactos de aves dos minutos antes de que la aeronave emitiera una señal de socorro confirmando que había ocurrido un impacto de ave, después de lo cual el piloto intentó un aterrizaje de emergencia. Los funcionarios surcoreanos también se han comprometido a mejorar la seguridad aeroportaria después de que expertos vincularon el alto número de muertes con el sistema localizador del aeropuerto de Muan, la estructura que fue golpeada por la aeronave al estrellarse. El localizador, un conjunto de antenas diseñado para guiar a las aeronaves durante los aterrizajes, estaba alojado en una estructura de concreto cubierta con tierra sobre un terraplén elevado. Esto ha planteado preguntas sobre si la estructura debería haber sido construida con materiales más ligeros que se romperían más fácilmente al impacto.Esta historia fue traducida del inglés por un editor de AP con la ayuda de una herramienta de inteligencia artificial generativa.Kim has been covering the Koreas for the AP since 2014.
