The black boxes holding the flight data and cockpit voice recorders of a South Korean passenger jet that crashed, killing 179 people, stopped recording four minutes before the disaster, officials have said.<\/p>\n

Jeju Air 7C2216, a Boeing 737-800 jet, was flying from the Thai capital of Bangkok to Muan, South Korea, on 29 December when it crash-landed, skidding off the runway into a wall and exploding into flames.<\/p>\n

Of the 175 passengers and six crew members on board, only two crew survived and were pulled from the wreckage at Muan International Airport, about 180 miles south of Seoul.<\/p>\n

Authorities investigating the disaster<\/a><\/strong> plan to look into what caused the black boxes to stop recording, South Korea’s transport ministry said in a statement on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The voice recorder was initially analysed in South Korea<\/a><\/strong>. When data was found to be missing, it was sent to a US National Transportation Safety Board laboratory, the ministry said.<\/p>\n

The damaged flight data recorder was also taken to the United States for analysis in cooperation with the US safety regulator.<\/p>\n

Sim Jai-dong, a former transport ministry accident investigator, said the discovery<\/a><\/strong> of the missing data from the crucial final minutes was surprising.<\/p>\n

He added it suggests all power – including backup – may have been cut, which is rare.<\/p>\n

The pilots told air traffic control the aircraft had suffered a bird strike<\/a><\/strong> and declared an emergency about four minutes before it crashed.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, lead investigator Lee Seung-yeol said feathers were found in one of the engines recovered from the crash scene.<\/p>\n

He added video footage showed there was a bird strike on one of the engines.<\/p>\n

While authorities previously said they suspected a bird strike may have played a role in the crash, it has not yet been confirmed why the landing gear was not deployed, or what led to the crash-landing.<\/p>\n

The plane exploded seemingly while colliding with a concrete wall<\/a><\/strong> at the end of the runway, and experts have questioned why it was there.<\/p>\n

Police are also investigating how the airfield wall the plane hit was constructed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
