South Korea plane crash black box to be sent to US for analysis, ministry says
SEOUL, Jan 1 (Reuters) - South Korea's transport
ministry said on Wednesday it will send the flight data recorder
of the plane which fatally crashed on Sunday to the United
States for analysis.
All 175 passengers and four of six crew were killed on
Sunday when the Jeju Air 089590.KS jet belly-landed at Muan
International Airport in the country's southwest and slammed
into a sand-and-concrete embankment at the end of the runway,
where it burst into flames.
