Jeju Airlines Boeing 737-800 plane crashes, 179 people killed
On December 29th local time, a Boeing 737-800 aircraft operated by Jeju Air in South Korea veered off the runway and crashed into the airport fence while landing at Woan Airport in Jeollanam do, South Korea. Except for 2 people who were rescued, all 179 people on board died. This is the deadliest air disaster that has occurred in South Korea.

According to the Korean Air Railway Accident Investigation Committee, two "black boxes" on board the aircraft have been recovered, with the exterior of the Flight Data Recorder (FDR) damaged and the other cockpit voice recorder (CVR) well preserved. According to the South Korean Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, the data extraction of the cockpit voice recorder has been completed and the data conversion work is being completed as soon as possible. The other black box, the connector of the flight data recorder, is missing, and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is studying how to extract data from it.
The 'black box' is an important tool for inve

stigating aviation accidents, providing detailed data about the last moments of an aircraft. FDR monitors altitude, airspeed, and heading, while CVR records radio transmissions and sounds inside the cockpit, such as the pilot's voice and engine noise. The South Korean Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has previously stated that a lengthy investigation is needed to determine the complex cause of the plane crash.
